Does education affect macroeconomic dynamics? An Agent-Based approach



Abstract

A macroeconomic agent-based model is presented, featuring a community of profit-maximizing firms facing a heterogeneous labour force whose behavioural attitudes are influenced by workers' educational backgrounds. Two educational systems are analysed: a general system, which provides broad skills, and a "vocational" one, focused on specific job-related skills. Additionally, the model is extended to explore how the economy responds to technological shocks.
