Open Source Teams, Firm Size and Wealth Distribution: An agent based model approach
نویسنده
چکیده
An agent based model of team formation and wealth distribution is studied. Based on previous work, two incentive structures, one resembling a firm and the second resembling an open source team are used to study the dynamics of team formation. I found that there exist ranges for the number of such teams when agents find it beneficial to join one of the open source teams and when not to. The effects of this behavior on the size of firms, total effort, compensation and wealth distribution are analyzed. Results are presented with some directions for future work.

In this paper an artificial society is being assumed as a multi agents system. A sugarscape model consisting of a cellular landscape of resources is used to form an interaction among the agents of the population. In the model, agents find the resources to survive. They are supposed to move and search and because of this movement, an evolutionary social behavior will develope. From model analys...

متن کاملThe Dependence of Pay–performance Sensitivity on the Size of the Firm
I analyze the relationship between firm size and the extent to which executive compensation depends on the wealth of the firm’s shareholders. I use a simple agency model to motivate an econometric model of this relationship. Estimating this model on chief executive officer (CEO) compensation data using nonlinear least squares, I determine that pay–performance sensitivity (as defined by Jensen a...

The computer-based 3D modeling of ore bodies is one of the most important steps in the resource estimation, grade determination, and production scheduling of open-pit mines. In the modeling phase, the volume of the orebody model is required to be filled by the blocks and sub-blocks. The determination of Block Size (BS) is important due to the dependence of the geostatistical issues and calculat...
