Agent based modelling of the diffusion of innovations — •Florian Senger — Fraunhofer ISI, Breslauer Str. 38, 76139 Karlsruhe

The work presented here is part of a PhD thesis, where methods from physics of social systems were combined with methods from evolutionary economics to develop an agent-based model to mimic the dynamics of regime changes in socio-technical systems. Therefore the demand side was modelled as consumer agents according to a distribution of endowments and needs, connected to each other in a social network, influencing each other in a voter-model-like manner and the supply side as explicit company agents consisting of genes in an evolutionary sense, producing a technology in a quality depending on their particular fitness, taking influence on particular areas of the consumer network via marketing and changing the alleles of their genes by a process of imitating and stochastically innovating, getting feedback on their fitness by the degree of success with the consumers. In this presentation results will be shown for different time scales and different geographical distributions of consumer agents and it will be shown how the model is applied to the case of forms of regional mobility based on empirical data.
