Taxation and Housing on Population Dynamics: Multi-Agent Simulations

Around the world, we can see diverse yet feasible human living styles under different conditions. The related studies can form the basis for fostering human living quality. In this study, we construct a stable living population and examine the consequences under different external capital interventions (i.e. income tax rates, inheritance tax rates, and housing needs). Based on the multi-agent simulation results across 21600 runs under the fully factorial parameter settings (i.e. 216 parameter settings), we can observe diverse yet interesting phenomena with insights into population dynamics in terms of population size, population wealth, and Gini index.
