ABCE is a Python Agent-Based Complete Economy Platform, written by Davoud Taghawi-Nejad. With ABCE, you can write economic, agent-based simulations in python. ABCE handles, trading production an consumption automatically. The agents, written by the modeler do only have to make the decisions and instruct the platform to trade, produce and consume. ABCE makes sure the economy is closed, that means no goods appear, disappear or are otherwise unaccounted for. It is therefore particularly useful for macro models. ABCE's model output are compatible with R, Excel and sqlite.

- In the simulation, goods are ontological object instead of epistemological information that lives in a ledger
- Stock-flow consistent model
- Discrete-time scheduler
- Parallel execution of actions within a subround via multiprocessing
- Browser-based GUI via @gui decorator
