A Computational Model of the Interaction between Environmental Dynamics and Economic Behaviors

Environmental problems have been considered very important for a long time. We believe that they should be examined from an interdisciplinary view so as to reach a solution because they have been caused as the consequence of complex interactions among various factors. This paper proposes a new model termed ColorChanger. By using this model, we aim to explore the nature of ecological problems beyond separate discussions on specific subjects, and make the acquired knowledge available to encourage the solution of environmental problems. This paper also reports on the results of the preliminary experiments.
