The boxed economy simulation platform discussed in the links on this page:
http://platbox.sfc.keio.ac.jp/en/papers/index.html
is very interesting, as we have discussed. If we can obtain a copy of this platform from its authors, we would have--as Jim said--a viable candidate for our simulation software. I plan to print out and read a few more of these articles before coming to Fairfield on Wedensday.
