Introduction to Agent-Based Stock-Flow Consistent Modelling

Level: advanced
Perspectives: Complexity Economics, Post-Keynesian Economics
Topic:
Format: Lecture / Presentation

Antoine Godin gives a bright and illustrated introduction to agent-based, stock-flow-consistent modeling, with a clear focus on the agent-based aspect (as he gave another lecture dedicated to stock-flow consistent modeling at the same conference the year before - see here). It provides an alternative to the neoclassical micro-foundations and does not suffer the fallacy of composition problem.

Introduction to Pluralism in Economics - From an Economics-without-Capitalism to Markets-without-Capitalism

Universität Tübingen, Rethinking Economics
Keen first compares neoclassical approaches to modelling with heterodox ones. Then he discusses in length the required assumptions and the inconsistencies of the aggregate demand and supply model, which is extrapolated from a micro perspective. At the end some dynamic models with feedback mechanisms are shown.
