Integrating Artificial Agent in the Simulation Model of the Russian Federation Spatial Development

Abstract

In this paper we present a model of spatial development of the Russian Federation and principles of integrating artificial agents into it. The model is agent-based and consists of several modules, representing demographic, economic, financial processes, employment and consumption, educational and administrative institutions. Acting subjects in the model are artificial agents presenting population of the Russian Federation, who are capable of individual decision making, interaction with each other and the environment. Social activity of the agents depends on their current living standard and level of discontent. To reproduce behavior of artificial agents we implement architecture Plan-Image, based on the cognitive model, proposed by D. Miller, J. Galenter and K. Pribram. Dynamics of the model of the Russian Federation spatial development is determined by behavior of agents within educational, employment and migration processes.

Simulating Budget System in the Agent Model of the Russian Federation Spatial Development

“…In this article w e presented m ethods and algorithm s o f sim ulating budget system in the agent-based m odel o f the Russian Federation spatial developm ent. Basis for research at this stage w ere previously m odeled population and organizations [14,16] and algo rithm s for their interaction [15,17]. As inform ation sources for the budget system reconstruction w e used T ax and B udget codes, federal laws and the official portal.…”

“…T he budget system sim ulation considered in this article belongs to the second stage of the m ethodology, since it reflects the dynam ic aspect of tax and duties collection, paym ent of transfers to the population, financing of bud g et organizations and key sectors of the national econom y. A lso at the second stage algorithm s of population dynam ics [14], behavior o f agents in the areas o f education, em ploym ent and m igration [17], activities o f com m ercial [15] and financial organizations are developed. To verify algorithm s on this stage, retrospective m odeling for the base 2014 is carried out.…”

“…W hile the agent m odel o f the R ussian Federation spatial developm ent sim ulates agents and households in detail [14], it aggregates organizations to the sector-region scale, so that one m acro-organization 'Sector S in region R ' presents a set o f real-w orld organizations in this sector and region. This assum ption is due to lack o f inform ation about production, em ploym ent and financial state o f organizations [16,17], w hile available data is presented in the regional and sector scale [25]. D ue to the accepted aggregation o f objects in the m odel, the exact reproduction o f revenue items, and particularly, excise rates and custom s duties on specific goods, is quite difficult.…”
