Boxed Economy Simulation Platform and foundation model

Abstract

The authors propose a "Boxed Economy Simulation Platform", which is a sharable basis for agent-based economic simulations. By providing the basic design of the social model, which we call "Boxed Economy Foundation Model", it enables collaborative research more efficiently. Sharing and cumulating the model components can be promoted by domain-specific design at the level of social model rather than the level of abstract general purpose model. It will be able to contribute to remove factors that have been making it difficult for social scientists to participate in and conduct agent-based research.
