Abstract

La Grande Recessione e stata un esperimento naturale per la macroeconomica, mostrando l’inadeguatezza della teoria dominante basata sui modelli DSGE. La macroeconomia dovrebbe considerare l’economia come un sistema complesso in evoluzione, cioe come un’ecologia popolata da agenti eterogenei, che interagiscono fuori dall’equilibrio cambiando continuamente la struttura stessa del sistema. Quindi, la macroeconomia non puo ridursi alle scelte micro di un agente rappresentativo, ma le complesse interazioni tra gli agenti portano all’emergenza di nuovi fenomeni e strutture gerarchiche a livello macro. Questo e alla base dei modelli ad agenti eterogenei, che offrono una nuova metodologia per modellare economie complesse “dal basso”, con microfondazioni in linea con l’evidenza empirica. The Great Recession was a natural experiment for macroeconomics, showing the inadequacy of the predominant theoretical framework grounded on DSGE models. Macroeconomics should consider the economy as a complex evolving system, i.e. as an ecology populated by heterogeneous agents, whose far-from-equilibrium interactions continuously change the structure of the system. This in turn implies that macroeconomics cannot be shrunk to representative-agent micro, but agents’ complex interactions lead to emergence of new phenomena and hierarchical structure at the macro level. This is what is taken into account by agent-based models, which provide a novel way to model complex economies from the bottom-up, with sound empirically-based microfoundations.

代表人物的孤独:新宏观经济学的异质性与互动
大衰退是宏观经济的一项自然实验,表明基于DSGE模型的主导理论是不充分的。宏观经济学应该把经济看作是一个复杂的、不断变化的系统,也就是说,它是一个生态系统,由各种各样的代理组成,它们在平衡之外相互作用,不断地改变系统本身的结构。因此,宏观经济学不能简化为具有代表性的代理人的微观选择,但是代理人之间复杂的相互作用导致宏观一级出现新的现象和等级结构。这是异构代理模型的基础,它们提供了一种基于经验证据的微观基础的新方法来模拟复杂的“自下而上”经济。伟大的衰退是宏观经济学的自然实验,揭示了DSGE模型中占主导地位的理论框架的不适应性。宏观经济学应该把经济看作是一个复杂的进化系统,我是一个由外生代理人组成的生态学家,他使平衡相互作用不断地改变系统的结构。这一转变意味着宏观经济学不能被用来代表微观代理,但代理人的复杂互动将引领宏观层面新物质和高层结构的出现。这是基于代理模型的,它提供了一种新的方法来从下而上模型复杂的经济,使用基于经验的微观数据。JEL代码:B41, B50, E32, E52
