TY - JOUR TT - Bertrand Competition with Network Effects and Switching Costs: An Agent-based Computational Approach AU - Çilingiroğlu, Kutay Hakkı PY - 2016 DA - May JF - Yildiz Social Science Review JO - YSSR PB - Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 2149-4363 SP - 65 EP - 86 VL - 2 IS - 1 KW - Agent-based Computational Economics KW - Switching Costs KW - Network Eects KW - Simulation N2 - Economics is a complex system that requires different approaches for analysis. I analyzed switching costs and network effects together with a new simulation approach to modeling systems composed of autonomous and interacting agents. Agent based computational economics is one of the simulation tools and an efficient tool box for complex economic systems. I developed an agent based computational model of duopolistic competition to analyze how the network eects and switching costs shape competitive outcomes by simulation methods. CR - Arthur, W.B.
