abstract = {Proxyeconomics Agent based model The model is written in
Python3.7 using the 'Mesa0.8.6' package. I used 'Anaconda'
environment manager and 'spyder3.3.6' editor. All
simulations were run on a standard PC (20GB RAM). To install
Mesa: in the Anaonda Prompt run: pip install Mesa (note that
this is case-sensitive) You will also need the following
packages, which can be installed in a similar way or using
the anaconda package manager: 'matplotlib, numpy, pandas,
scipy, random' The model code is in: ProxyModel1.py It
contains two main classes (ProxyAgent, ProxyModel), defining
the behavior of the agents and overall model, respectively.
Additionally it contains a number of data collector
functions to compute model means used by the mesa
$batch_runner.$ To run a family of models load and run eg.:
$S6_run_ProxyModel_competition.py.$ Within you can set the
parameters of interest: The total number of modelsteps can
be set under finalStep (line 36). Each
$run_ProxyModel_....py$ file is made to display a family of
models over one variable parameter (e.g. competition, line
37), where the other parameters can be set within lines 38
to 47 The number of model repeats for each individual
parameter constellation can be set under iterations
(line50). Default parameters in $run_ProxyModel_competition$
are set to reproduce Fig.3,4. Fig. 5 was produced by running
$S6_run_ProxyModel_competition.py$ or
$S7_run_ProxyModel_goal_angle.py$ with the indicated
parameters. Fig. 6 was produced by increasing the finalStep
to 10000 and the $data_collect_interval$ (line38) to 10.
Fig. 7 was produced by running families with other variable
parameters (e.g.
$S11_run_ProxyModel_selection_pressure.py).$ For each
parameter, step size was increased until it was clear that
equilibrium had been reached. Fig. 8 was produced by
modifying the $get_prospect()$ function in the ProxyAgent
class in ProxyModel1.py to ''' Step Prospect ''' (A-C). or
by setting $angle_agency$ (line 149,154 in
$run_ProxyModel_....py)$ to 1 (D-F). Fig. S1 was produced by
running $S6_run_ProxyModel_competition.py$ with selection
pressure (line 45) set to 0 Fig. S2 was produced by
activating (uncommenting)
$self.fitness_proportionate_selection()$ in $S5_ProxyModel1$
(line 325) and deactivating (commenting) line 324 Fig. S3
was produced by returning $own_proxy-survival_threshold$ as
prospect (line 155) in addition the changes for S2 Fig. S4
was produced by running code as in S3 but for 1000 time
steps and p=0.9},
