boltzmann2d

This example provides a two-dimensional Boltzmann wealth model (BWM) as an example of a simple application of the two-dimensional gridded system.

The BWM is a type of agent-based model used to study the distribution of wealth among individuals within a population. The model simulates agents’ interactions over time, such as buying and selling goods, lending and borrowing money, and inheriting wealth. The model is based on a “wealth-exchange mechanism” which determines the probability of agents making a wealth exchange with each other, it is often based on the difference in wealth between agents. The model can be run for a specified number of time steps, and the resulting wealth distribution can be analyzed to study the emergence of wealth inequality and the factors that contribute to it.

For more information on BWMs, please see the boltzmann1d example documentation.
