Current ACE Macro Models

◮ Complex

◮ many types of agents ◮ many interaction rules ◮ black box

◮ Not strictly microfounded

◮ aggregates are directly operating ◮ matching lists, queuing lists, rationing mechanism

◮ Not Stock-Flow-Consistent ◮ Very different from standard theory

SLIDE 4

The Model

Starting point: Creation of money Households: C = q · D Banks: R = r · D → MB = C + R and r controlled by CB M1 = 1+q

q+r · MB

L = 1−r

q+r · MB

D = . . .

The Model

SLIDE 6

The Model

◮ Large overlap with standard theory

  • similar assumptions
  • similar results

◮ Equilibrium included but not guaranteed ◮ Intuitive / no black box ◮ Individual-based (i.e. Agent-based) ◮ No rationality requirements / zero intelligence agents ◮ Microfoundation

Conclusion

◮ Very simple & intuitive ACE model ◮ Rigorously agent-based / microscopically founded ◮ Overlap with standard theory

  • standard assumptions
  • standard results included as special case

◮ Rich dynamics:

  • Endogenous equilibrium (limiting case)
  • Bank Runs
  • Endogenous crises
  • Systemic Risk
