Abstract

The paper discusses some promising directions of theoretical economics related to analyzing problems with many interacting agents, i.e. at graphs with fixed or emergent topologies. A necessity of developing a statistical game theory is discussed; in which, similarly to statistical physics, one constructs an approximate aggregated description of a system in terms of a small number of representative collective variables. Development of aggregated description of systems with nontrivial local topology of economic interactions is of particular interest. A modern status of multi sector macroeconomic models is described portraying economic interaction through considering a weighted oriented graph corresponding to the input-output matrix as well as multiagent approach to optimization problems in which an optimal state is reached by agents exchanging services at the virtual market..
