Abstract

This paper tracks the first attempt to develop a modular agent-based world system model using NetLogo. The initial module focuses on a few, basic parameters of world-system development, namely innovation, economic development, learning, and extensibility. The results of the experimental simulations are then compared to historical long-term developmental patterns of world system development.
