I am a third year PhD student in the Department of Economics at George Mason University. I have some experience with building agent-based models using Python. Of late I have been thinking about the following two questions.
Project ideas:
(1) Firms, nation states, human beings and stars all die. Do the causes of "death" in physical, biological and social systems have something in common? If yes, what is it?
(2) Several economic time series (like the S&P 500 index) have fractal-like structures, i.e. they look the same at many time scales. What explains these time invariant structures in economic data?
