Читать книгу Probabilistic Economic Theory - Anatoly Kondratenko - Страница 6

The concept of agent-based physical modeling is based on taking the known, fundamental concepts of classical economic theory, and uniting and eventually converting them into probabilistic economic theory. It is described with the help of formal approaches and methods borrowed from theoretical physics, beginning with the method of equations of motion for many-particle physical systems. The role of the theoretical physics methods is only to provide the framework for physical economics and eventually for probabilistic economic theory. This theory is developed step-by-step with the creation of the more complicated models, each subsequent step building on the last. It includes and increases the number of concepts and principles of physical economics, and reflects on one or more of several fundamental features of the market economy. The first one, the cooperation-oriented agent principle, is the cornerstone of all the physical economic models which holds that all market phenomena have their origins in agents’ actions. To put it differently, since the action of the market as a whole is a result of the actions of all the market agents and nothing other, the market agents and their actions must be at the basis of the physical economic models. In other words, according to the agent principle, all market phenomena have their origins in agents’ actions.
