Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The application of reductionism, breaking down problems to simpler components that can be solved and then aggregating the results, is one of the bases of classical science. However, living organisms, ecosystems, social and economic structures are complex systems, characterised by non-linear interactions between their elements and exhibit emergent properties that are not directly traceable to their components. Sustainability assessment frameworks oversimplify system interactions, achieving limited predictive capacity and causing managerial behavior that may reduce system's

Abstract:

Modern character of ecological-economic relations needs new approaches to long-term and short-term strategies of territorial development.

The main purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of how complex collective behaviors emerge in social and economic systems. To this end, we use a combination of mathematical analysis and computational simulations along the lines of the agent- or individual-based modeling paradigm. In particular, we focus on three main topics: opinion dynamics, herding behavior in financial markets, and language competition. Opinion dynamics models focus on the processes of opinion formation within a society consisting of an ensemble of interacting individuals with diverse opinions. One o

To test this, we analyze five datasets from ecological, economic, and geological systems that describe the distribution of objects across categories

The influence of the time factor on the socio-economic processes for a long time period is the one of the key problems of economic research. Such researches are largely very indirectly concerned with the conceptual study of the time factor impact as a separate category of economic science. As an important issue of current research we see the necessity of research systematisation for the study of the role of the time factor in the economics in the contemporary studies of researchers.
