Profile
Murat Bakeev is a research fellow and PhD candidate working within the framework of the project “MODEL TRANSFER – Model Transfer and Its Challenges in Science: The Case of Economics”, funded by the European Research Council (ERC). He writes his dissertation under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Catherine Herfeld, who is the principal investigator of the project.
He studied economics, philosophy, politics at the HSE University (Moscow), University of Bayreuth and was a visiting scholar at the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University.
As part of the MODEL TRANSFER project, his research focuses on the challenging case of the transfer of agent-based models into macroeconomics. In particular, he plans to study:
- The early history of attempts to build macroeconomic agent-based models at the Santa Fe Institute.
- The philosophical implications of differences in accepted standards of empirical validation between agent-based modeling and the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) modeling that dominates macroeconomics.
- The diffusion of agent-based models into various subdisciplines of economics using computational text mining methods.
Murat Bakeev has been working as a research fellow at LUH since 2023.
