Overview
Learning objectives of the Agent-based models in Economics - theory, toolkit and policy laboratories course from Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies Pisa
The study of economies seen as complex evolving systems has proven to be an appropriate lens of analysis to interpret and provide diagnoses of the many instances of the structure of capitalism. Agent-based models are a powerful and growing tool to develop theoretical models disciplined by empirical evidence, able to address the complex and evolving nature of economies; additionally they constitute a natural policy laboratory enabling the possibility to perform scenarios analysis useful to inform policy choices.
The Institute of Economics of Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies launches the first Seasonal School in "Agent based models in Economics: theory, toolkit and policy laboratories".
The Seasonal School is intended to achieve the following objectives:
- Learning of agent-based modelling techniques (ABMs) as a tool of analysis and interpretation of economic and social processes.
- Development and design of agent-based models through software laboratories (Laboratory for Simulation Development platform).
