26. The Dynamics of the Interbank Market: Statistical Stylized Facts and Agent-Based Models

Thomas Lux (University of Kiel)

7/3/21, 9:00 AM

Invited talk (40 min)

We review a number of basic stylized facts of the interbank market that have
emerged from the empirical literature over the last years. Our objective is to explain these
findings as emergent properties of dynamic agent-based model of the interaction within the
banking sector. To this end, we develop a simple dynamic model of interbank credit
relationships. Starting from a given balance...

20. “Private Truths, Public Lies” within agent-based modeling.

Katarzyna Sznajd-Weron (Department of Theoretical Physics, Faculty of Fundamental Problems of Technology, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology)

7/3/21, 9:40 AM

Invited talk (40 min)

The title of this talks is inspired by the Timur Kuran’s book entitled “Private Truths, Public Lies. The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification”. During my presentation I will talk about the idea and real-life examples of Preference Falsification (PF). Furthermore, I will propose a simple binary agent-based model, which allows to describe PF by introducing two levels of the opinion:...

34. Education as a Complex System: Using physic methods for the analysis of students' learning behaviours in the context of programming education.

Tai Mai (Dublin City University)

7/3/21, 10:20 AM

Contributed talk (20 min)

As a result of the COVID19 pandemic, more higher-level education courses have moved to online channels, raising challenges in monitoring students’ learning progress. Thanks to the development of learning technologies, learning behaviours can be recorded at a more fine-grain level of detail, which can then be further analysed. Inspired by approaching education as a complex system, this research...

36. Biased voter model: How persuasive a small group can be?

Christos Charalambous

7/3/21, 10:40 AM

Contributed talk (20 min)

We study the voter model dynamics in the presence of confidence and bias. We assume two types of voters. Unbiased voters (UV) whose confidence is indifferent to the state of the voter and biased voters (BV) whose confidence is biased towards a common fixed preferred state. We study the problem analytically on the complete graph using mean field theory and on a random network topology using the...
