Heterogeneous Agents Research Initiative

Heterogeneous Agents Research Initiative

The primary goal of RIEF’s Heterogeneous Agents Research Initiative is to support research in topics that consider different agents in macroeconomics and finance. The presence of heterogeneous agents in an economic model allows us to study the relationship between aggregates (in real and financial sectors) and inequality with crucial policy implications.
