Modeling a Complex Socioeconomic Systems Using Multi-agent Platform

Study of complex socioeconomic systems, such as policy response system, requires a sophisticated approach for modeling and simulation. Multi-agent system can be an effective tool to reason individual and group behaviors. The paper analyzes the socioeconomic environmental policy system with the compensation policy strategy. Using the Swarm-an agent based platform, a model is built to simulate the group behaviors for various tax policies. The graphic simulation and analysis of the model makes the possible results of policy implementation understood clearly, and benefits governmental decision-making as well.
