ABMs for macroeconomic forecasting?

This summer, economists from America's Federal Reserve and the Bank of England attended a workshop to explore whether Agent Based Modelling and Simulation could have predicted the credit crunch and might provide a better early warning system to prevent a similar economic crisis.

 

With general acceptance that forecasting based on “dynamic stochastic general equilibrium” (DSGE) models is inadequate during a crash (when assumptions around equilibrium do not apply), ABMS could help understand the impact of decisions by economic agents (consumers, borrowers and investors) on market prices, taking into account the social, cognitive and emotional factors which influence them.

DSEConsulting is keenly following debate around whether ABMs might provide a more accurate alternative for economic forecasting

Simulation Key To Business Success

Gartner, Inc, the world's leading information technology research and advisory company has published its Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2011.  Simulation makes the grade alongside social media, mobile apps and cloud computing.

Under the banner “Next Generation Analytics”, Gartner has identified the ability of simulation to predict future outcomes as the key to achieving business improvement.

Early adopting dseConsulting clients in complex supply chain management are already reaping the rewards of informed decision making.  And dseConsulting is working on applications to improve retail store layout, as well as exploring how Agent Based Modelling & Simulation (ABMS) can predict the impact of social media on consumer behaviour and traditional marketing campaigns.

In fact, there are very few sectors or disciplines in which strategic decision making would not be improved by this ability to predict the future.  ABMS has even been mooted as a more accurate early warning system which might have forewarned the “credit crunch” (see News, June 2010)

You can read the full list of Gartner’s Top 10 Strategic Technologies for 2011 here, then add to our blog to discuss how simulation could provide the key to your future business success.
