Abstract

Multi-agent simulation provides a way to explore results from social studies and provide hints on how these results scale. One particular class of studies that is interesting to explore are economic-related studies. We developed a multi-agent system that simulates an investment game and incorporates the results from economic-related social studies into the design of the agents. We analyzed how several factors, such as trust and reputation influence the outcome of the agents in terms of distribution of wealth and total generated money.
