microfoundations' approach assumes this property of micro-level interactions more strongly conditions macro-level outcomes compared to …‘mechanical' nature. So rather than taking an ‘explicit microfoundations' approach, in which individuals are represented as ‘white … examine a parsimonious, agent-based macroeconomic model with implicit microfoundations. It generates many of the reported …
