A Multi-Agent Systems Approach to Microeconomic Foundations of Macro

.
(September 2007)Unpublished manuscript.

Abstract

This paper is part of a broader project that attempts to gener- ate microfoundations for macro economics as an emergent prop erty of complex systems. The multi-agents systems approach is seen to pro duce realistic macro prop erties from a primitive set of agents that search for satisfactory activities, \`ijobs\^ı, in an informationally constrained, computationally noisy environment. There is frictional and structural unemployment, ináation, excess capacity, Ö- nancial instability along with the p ossibility of relatively smo oth expansion. There is no Phillips curve but an inegalitarian distribution of income emerges as fundamental prop erty of the system.
