The chapter “Model Transfer as a Case of Interdisciplinary Research in Science” by @cherfeld.bsky.social and Edoardo Peruzzi, published in the Ethics of the Sciences collection, is now available online! It sketches a taxonomy of modification procedures that enable cross-domain model transfer.

The paper makes the case for an integrated approach that combines philosophical analysis with historical research and demonstrates the epistemic value of the approach by applying it to two episodes of model transfer in the history of game theory. doi.org/10.1080/0967...

A new contribution by our postdoc Edoardo Peruzzi has just appeared in the Elgar Encyclopedia of Competition Law: a short entry on "Competition"! In the entry, he discusses the role of competition in contemporary policy and how its meaning has evolved in the history of economics.

He uses this response to illustrate what he calls methodological embedding, a model-reformulation strategy for overcoming the challenges posed by differing tractability standards. #ERCStG #FrontierResearch

MODEL TRANSFER ERC Project @modeltransfer.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

One response to this problem by proponents of agent-based modeling has been the construction of "hybrid" models that combine elements of agent-based models with macroeconomic general equilibrium models.

MODEL TRANSFER ERC Project @modeltransfer.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Specifically, he explains the difficulties surrounding the adoption of agent-based models in macroeconomics as a problem of establishing and negotiating tractability.

MODEL TRANSFER ERC Project @modeltransfer.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

The existence of varying tractability standards across scientific domains has important implications for #ModelTransfer: a model considered tractable in one context may no longer be regarded as tractable when transferred to another.

MODEL TRANSFER ERC Project @modeltransfer.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

In the paper, he challenges the default view of tractability in the philosophy of science, drawing on Béatrice Cherrier's @undercoverhist.bsky.social ideas regarding tractability standards.

He proposes a framework based on theoretical templates as intermediate representational structures that generate families of models. On this view, vertical progress consists in systematic development within model families, while horizontal progress consists in the introduction of new templates.

100

MODEL TRANSFER ERC Project @modeltransfer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

In the paper, he asks: How does scientific progress work in model-based sciences such as economics? He argues that the common distinction between horizontal and vertical progress in terms of model addition versus model replacement is misleading and does not clarify how the two are related.
