Labour Market, Entrepreneurship and Human Capital in Industrial Districts. An Agent-Based Prototype

The paper aims to describe an agent-based prototype that has been created to investigate the relation among local labour markets, entrepreneurship and human capital in IDs. It basically describes the building blocks of the prototype, the agents acting in it and the forces that drive its most interesting dynamics. Some interesting hypotheses to investigate are sketched, too.
