Agent-Based Evolutionary Method of Simulation the Co₂ Emission Permits Market

This article describes the problem of simulation of the CO₂ emission permits market. First, it introduces a CO₂ permission market model with transactions and purchase prices, in particular with a separate goal function for each party, transactions with price negotiations between regions and - as a consequence of introducing prices for permits - the possibility of investigating the influence of purchase/sale prices on the market. The behavior of such market model is simulated using a method, which is based on a specialized evolutionary method but introduces independent agents with their own transaction preferences.
