The environment is a social space with metaphorical distances representing trustiness and cooperation among production units (the social capital). The production is represented by a sequence of orders; each order contains a recipe, i.e. the description of the sequence of activities to be done by several units to complete a specific production. • Two units can cooperate in the production process only if they are mutually visible in our social network. • Units that do not receive a sufficient quantity of orders, as well as the ones that cannot send the accomplished orders to successive units, disappear. • New enterprises continuously arise, in the attempt of filling the holes of our social network. A complex structure emerges from our environment, with a difficult and instable equilibrium whenever the social capital is not sufficient. _ workers-skills-firms 2/3 SwarmFest, ISI Foundation & Department of Economics and Finance, University of Torino
In a parallel way, other layers of the economic structure can evolve, always in an agent base perspective: banking system, employment structures, … • In this model the focus is related to employment: when an enterprise produces a good, the sequence of the activities must match the presence of working units with the required skills. In this context a fine grain description of the steps in the recipes is needed. • Adequate labor units can be lacking, thus fostering the emergence of competition among production units in the hiring process. • Products change over time; as a consequence, productions units and labor skills have to adapt continuously, with co-evolutionary effects. _ workers-skills-firms 3/3 SwarmFest, ISI Foundation & Department of Economics and Finance, University of Torino
