On the Use of Micro-level Simulation for Estimation of the Effects of Governmental Control Policies
نویسندگان
چکیده
To predict the effects of governmental control policies regarding transportation, macro-level simulation is often used. However, macro-level simulation cannot capture the decision making of individual actors involved in a transport chain. In this paper we discuss how a micro-level simulator, called TAPAS (Transportation And Production Agent-based Simulator), which is based on agent technology can be used for studying effects of control policies in transport chains. Usability aspects which are considered are context of usage, input and output and how scenarios will be designed and validated. The usage of TAPAS is illustrated with a scenario of a transport corridor. Topic for submission: Transportation Sustainability

Using a Micro-level Model for Governmental Policy-making
This project investigates how the actors in a transportation chain are expected to act when different types of governmental control policies are applied. A simulation-based tool is being developed for use in analyzing the effects of different control policies. The simulator is based on agent technology and include some intelligence with respect to how the transport operators act in different si...

متن کاملImplications of the Imperfect Deposit Market Structure for Micro and Macro Discretionary Prudential Policies
The aim of this study is to theoretically investigate the role of the bank deposit market structure in how effective micro and macro prudential policies in determining the regulatory capital of banks in combination with monetary policy. To achieve this, a partial equilibrium analytical framework has been developed that includes rational economic entities and the possibility of contagion risk in...
