Brexit, lavoro e immigrazione: un modello Agent-Based

This work follows up on two discussed and uncertain debates nowadays: Brexit and immigration. In particular, we want to shed the lights on the likely economic impacts due to cutting immigration in a given country. To address this question, one has to understand the mechanisms that take place in the labor market and how they affect macroeconomics variables. Cutting immigration from EU was one of the main reasons that brought Britons to vote for leave in 2016 and therefore there is plenty of literature that analyze the economic impact of immigration with a particular focus on the United Kingdom. However, these works approach the topic with orthodox Equation-Based Models that have several assumptions which hide the complexity inherent to markets. To study market mechanism, we instead create an Agent-Based Model (ABM), a new kind of modeling approach, that is not tied to analytical tractability.
