EconSimT is an extendable framework for Economics Simulation. It is very
strongly based on the Object Oriented approach. It is profoundly extendable
in JavaT.
EconSimT has reached version 0.60a, Oct 2003. There is much to learn (about
Java or Economics, depending on who you are), so the free version lasts
until June 2005!
EconSim's 'Objects' are different kinds of EconomicEntity. (Firm, consumer,
employee, tax payer, patient, commuter etc)

Even the free 'Basic' edition is extendable in Java. You use normal Java
Tools to do this.

EconSimT is an application, a fully compiled *.exe for MS-Windows 98 and
above.

EconSimT is also an Application Framework, you can write your own firms,
consumers, banks etc, load them dynamically and have them interact. You
introduce them to each other using, the built in, and extendable EconScriptT
scripting language. Such extensions can then be built on by others, you just
distribute the ".class" files your java compiler has produced. In principle
this process is more productive than neo-classical analysis, there being so
much virgin territory to colonise. Start writing a book or training course
today! Its a great way to learn.
