This chapter surveys work dedicated to macroeconomic analysis using an agent-based
modeling approach. After a short review of the origins and general characteristics of this …

We develop an agent-based model to study the macroeconomic impact of alternative macro-
prudential regulations and their possible interactions with different monetary policy rules …

In this paper we study the effectiveness of different types of cohesion policies with respect to
convergence of regions. A two-region agent-based macroeconomic model is used to …
