WELCOME to Rent-Seeking Network

Dear Visitors,
I am so happy that every day, people from different countries come to this site and visit its pages. It makes me eager to add more subjects and files. I will try to modify its content but unfortunately I can not add the papers' files to my site as I respect copyrights. You can contact me for any question about my studies and findings. The day after tomorrow will be my BIRTHDAY and my wish is a better life for everybody anywhere in the world.

Who Will Be the Next President?
Agent-based Simulation of Elections

Many factors affect people's votes so elections can be known as complex systems. At the same time, as these complex systems try to modify their values, we can call them complex adaptive systems (CAS). There are many ways for modeling a CAS when one of the best is using software agents for simulation of their behavior.

A new start for my economic writings.
