摘要
This paper discusses the concept of path dependence in macrodynamics, and identifies practical difficulties associated with building path-dependent macrodynamic models of the sort that Keynesians and Schumpeterians regard as necessary for the successful study of long-term growth and development. It is suggested that multi-agent systems (MAS) analysis can help address these difficulties, and therefore provides a useful tool for advancing path-dependent macrodynamic analysis. A concrete example is provided in the form of a simple but illustrative MAS model of path-dependent aggregate fluctuations. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
