Introducing CEES: Complex economic environments simulator

Abstract

The combination of powerful computers and complex simulators allows us to accurately simulate the behavior of real system. This is specially important in the case of systems that cannot be manipulated, as the economic behavior of a society. CEES is a program that allows a user to simulate the behavior, both in the short and long-term, of an economy. Besides, users of the system can be part of the simulation by taking charge either of a company or of the State. Let us remark that, in contrast with most economic models, CEES takes into account a huge amount of variables (more than one thousand) in order to compute the current state of the economy. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
