Fiscal and Monetary Policies in Complex Evolving Economies
In this paper we explore the effects of alternative combinations of fiscal and monetary policies under different income distribution regimes.
On the Link between Inequality, Credit, and Macroeconomic Crises
To what extant do existing mainstream models properly address issues such as heterogeneity and interactions, which are considered central ingredients to understand economic crises as emergent, endogenous phenomena.
Fat-Tail Distributions and Business-Cycle Models
Recent empirical findings suggest that macroeconomic variables are seldom normally distributed.
Income Distribution, Credit and Fiscal Policies in an Agent-Based Keynesian Model
This work studies the interactions between income distribution and monetary and fiscal policies in terms of ensuing dynamics of macro variables (GDP growth, unemployment, etc.) on the grounds of an agent-based Keynesian model.
