Agent-based simulation modelling for regional ecological-economic systems. A case study of the Republic of Armenia

Abstract

Actual problems of modeling of ecologic-economic systems on the example of the Republic of Armenia (RA) are considered. Based on the methods of agent modeling and system dynamics, the simulation model of ecological-economic system which has allowed constructing the RA Ecological Map was created. The important purpose of the suggested approach is search of scenarios of rational modernization of the agent-enterprises, which are the main sources of emissions with simultaneous definition of effective strategy of the government regulation. The bi-criterial optimization problem for the ecological-economic system of RA is formulated and solved with the help of the developed genetic algorithm.
