System flips and resilience of systems

ASA develops novel methods of data analysis which aims to identify precursors and general patterns via learning from the past.

In 2014 ASA studied self-reinforcing feedback processes to better understand sustainability; investigated a data set from a huge on-line multi-player game to better understand the nature of social networking; developed an agent-based model of an open economy and the effects on the structure of the economy and consumption behavior of individuals after an external shock; and further developed an ongoing initiative on critical issues of economic cooperation between the enlarged European Union, Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia/Eurasian Economic Union, and their neighbors.

Resilience of regional economies

Advanced Systems Analysis (ASA) Program researchers are developing agent-based modeling frameworks that simulate economic agents (individuals, firms, banks, and so on) and their interactions under different regulations and input scenarios. More

Risks and opportunities of interregional economic integration
