players actions to expected or plausible consequences and outcomes 6 7 an important facet of economic simulations is the emergence of artificial systems gameplay and structures 8 there are many games in this genre that have been designed around numerous different enterprises and different simulations theme park can be called a business simulation because the goal of the game is to attract

financial industries 15 16 hospitality and management 16 and to study economic models 17 with some simulations having in excess of 10 000 variables 17 absel an association of professionals exists for the sole purpose of promoting their use 15 and economic simulations have even been used in experiments such as those done by donald broadbent on learning and cognition that revealed how people often
