Imagine a Rubik\u2019s cube: if only trying to solve for the colour orange, we fail entirely to see the effects our actions have taken upon the other five colours. In other words, how are things connected within a system and how do actions reverberate through it?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Socio-economic questions are no different. An economy is an incredibly complex system, with a vast array of daily interactions between many diverse \u201cagents.\u201d Traditional economic analysis overly relies on summary statistics, averages, and general relationships to estimate cause and effect. Such analysis does reasonably well at the study of marginal changes, and typically only short-term ones. And it does so by looking at the system from the top down.<\/span><\/p><p><b>But people and firms aren\u2019t average<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They are unique and can behave differently given their circumstances and constraints. By oversimplifying, traditional economics breaks down when a constraint enters a system in a way that doesn\u2019t affect everyone proportionally. What the financial crisis of 2007-08 and the recent pandemic have taught the economics community was that the old ways of thinking don\u2019t necessarily work in today\u2019s reality. We need to start looking bottom up and let people be people, not averages.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our analogy above, traditional economics typically only focuses on solving for the colour orange, and therefore misses a lot of what actually happens in a complex socio-economic system. This myopic view, by choosing to value things too narrowly, can lead to poor risk-taking.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the academic world, the results observed as agents interact that could not be deduced simply by observing the agents themselves are often referred to as \u201cemergent properties\u201d. Economists simply call such outcomes \u201cunintended consequences\u201d, and the ability to identify such outcomes is at the heart of our systems-based socio-economic platform. In other words, CANCEA\u2019s platform measures how all actions affect all colours on our Rubik\u2019s cube.

It is a large \u201cbig data\u201d computer system that simulates the interactions of more than 42 million virtual agents (individuals, corporations, governments, and non-profit organizations) that are encoded with economic and behavioural rules, enabling them to make decisions, act based on a set of rules and circumstances, and be influenced by the actions of others. Where relevant, each agent has over 850 traits across 235 industries and 440 commodities within over 56,000 dissemination areas across Canada. Per simulation step in time, this equates to over 19 billion interaction measurements, including the buying and selling of goods or an individual paying taxes. But it does so by scrubbing and testing masses of data and focusing precisely on the key drivers of behaviour.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, agents can be endowed with behavioural traits, such as their confidence in achieving outcomes and their dynamically evolving tolerance towards risk (under normal and near-ruin circumstances). Agents may change or evolve due to local circumstances or external stimuli, allowing unanticipated behaviours to emerge, which are only identified by way of experimental simulation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This allows our socio-economic platform to capture hyper-detail about how events could occur and how unintended consequences can emerge from unlikely synergies between risk factors. Traditional methods to estimate risk fail to capture the real statistics of the evolution of events. Top-down models have difficulty understanding turning points, because they think that an economy wants to behave roughly as it has in the past (economists use the term \u201cequilibrium\u201d around which an economy bounces around). That is, order and design (e.g., efficient markets) are imposed on the economy through \u201crepresentative agents\u201d who behave like everyone else. As explained by The Economist, these models \u201cdo badly in a crisis\u2026 [because] there is no equilibrium during crashes.\u201d Plenty was written about this after 2007-08.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agent-based modelling is not so constrained. By making no assumptions about market efficiency or equilibrium, it allows economic agents to set their desired individual outcomes and try to achieve them. The issue of course \u2013 that affects economic agents in reality \u2013 is that it may not be possible to do so for everyone. Some people want to work but can\u2019t. Some companies want to purchase inputs to production but can\u2019t. Some municipalities want to grow their population but can&#8217;t provide insufficient housing. Some governments want to get enough tax revenue to pay for public services but can\u2019t.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, by offering not only a different take but a more realistic one, agent-based modelling \u2013 and CANCEA\u2019s socio-economic simulation platform specifically \u2013 provides a disruptive approach to socio-economic analysis and data generation. This approach is not limited by the constraints that plague top-down economic models.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that we can provide robust answers to more questions than traditional economics can, but it does so by identifying the critical factors among linked data and connecting their impacts. In other words, it sees a socio-economic system as more than the sum of its parts.
