In this paper, a procedure to design a class of coupled systems that exhibit complex behaviours is presented. The proposed method is rigorously and systematically applicable to any dynamic system with nonlinear polynomial elements. Starting from two identical nonlinear algebraic systems, the proposed approach determines a proper bidirectional...

The recent financial crises pointed out the central role of public and private debt in modern economies. However, even if debt is a recurring topic in discussions about the current economic situation, economic modeling does not take into account debt as one of the crucial determinants of economic dynamics. The authors' contribution, in this...

This article presents an agent-based integrated model of a real, financial, and monetary economy. The model is characterized by a monopolist firm that supplies a single homogeneous product in the goods market, hires workers in the labor market, and demands loans in the credit market; a trade union that sets the nominal wage; N heterogeneous...

A discrete, deterministic, economic model, based on the framework of non-Walrasian or disequilibrium economics, is presented. The main feature of this approach is the presence of non-clearing markets, where not all demands and supplies are satisfied and some agents may be rationed. The model is characterized by three agents (i.e., a...

The agent-based framework provides an useful computational facility for economics, where performing experiments on policy design issues in a realistic environment, characterized by non-clearing markets and bounded rational agents (see Tesfatsion and Judd, 2006, for a recent survey). Under this respect, this study addresses the issue of monetary...

We present a model of an artificial financial economy, where a number of heterogenous agents, i.e., households, firms, and a commercial bank make endogenous financial decisions which involve portfolio investments for households, capital structure and dividends policy for firms, and lending and borrowing rates for the commercial bank. Labour...

The paper investigates the relationship between the amount of credit money in the economy and the variability of output and prices in the EURACE model. First we examine if the decision about dividends payment by the firms can affect this variability, then we adopt the policy measure of quantitative easing, that has been largely used by the Fed...

The observed values of equity premium, i.e., the excess return required by investors to hold equities instead of risk-free securities, are usually far larger than values foreseen by consumption capital asset pricing models with realistic aversion to risk. In order to tackle the problem form a different point of view, we present a model of an...
