Towards an Agent Based Model in Ethical economics

摘要

The purpose of this work is to study the impact of introducing ethical products in banking system. It explores the use of Agent-Based Models (ABM) in order to simulate the evolution of the financial system if we consider ethical principles. The ultimate aim is to catch how, some important economical features such as consumption, saving, production, and investment, can vary following banks’ actions. We are interested also in the interaction between the different agents, and how the behaviour of banks influences the actions adopted by the financial entities. Particular attention will be given to the evolution of ethics in the model and its effects on the decisions of agents.
