Small changes in product quality, price, external conditions can produce large effects (e.g. large market fluctuations) Small deterioration in credit market can trigger large waves of bankruptcies “Levy, Solomon and Levy's Microscopic Simulation of Financial Markets points us towards the future of financial economics. If we restrict ourselves to models which can be solved analytically, we will be modeling for our mutual entertainment, not to maximize explanatory or predictive power." --HARRY M. MARKOWITZ, Nobel Laureate in Economics Executive Abstract: The classical paradigms fail in predicting emergence of novelty / development in bio/ cogni / socio/ econo systems The Multi-Agent Complex Systems approach identifies -singular local elements of change / growth (even at early stages where, as whole, the system seems in regress) -spatio-temporal patterns of growth relevant resources - socio-economic / human interactive causal mechanisms leading to growth (e.g. education / cultural level / tradition). Concrete interdisciplinary example: post-liberalization Poland - identifies emergence of resilient, sustainable, developing patterns likely to support sustainable global growth - prediction of (space-time) singular fluctuation patterns that may lead to increased social inequality and economic instability (but also to novelty emergence) - Extension of study to other regions / disciplines “Almost all the social phenomena… obey the logistic growth” Elliot W Montroll I would urge… logistic equation early in the education … in the everyday world of politics and economics Lord Robert May Growth ~ a Size - Nonlinear Terms (Competion/Saturation) “continuum” Logistic Solution: uniform in space and time: Size a>0 a<0 TIME In reality, in Growth ~ a Size, a is the result of multi-agent spatio-temporal distributed discrete contributions This leads to a complex solution presenting fractal / intermittent collective macro-objects with self-organized adaptive behavior Size Logistic Multi-Agent Prediction <a> < 0 Logistic Differential Equation a<0 TIME Theorem: resilience and sustainability even for <a><0 EXAMPLE of Theoretical Applied Science THEOREM (Statistical Mechanics Mathematics) MACRO decay + MICRO growth ___________________ => MACRO growth APPLICATION: Liberalization Experiment Poland Economy after 1989 1990 MACRO decay (90) 1991 MICRO growth (91) 1992 MACRO growth (92) GNP Education 88 89 90 91Global analysis92 prediction Maps by the group of Social Psychologist Andrzej Nowak (Warsaw U.)
