Abstract

This article creates and analyzes an agent-based simulation model that reflects the interaction between economic agents and the institutional environment surrounding them. Special attention is paid to changing the agents’ mentality under the influence of the institutional structure of society and the transformation of the institutional environment under the influence of agents’ mental values. Computational experiments are carried out with the model, and the possibilities of achieving equilibrium by the system are calculated depending on the minimum labor productivity in society. An equilibrium state of the system is one in which the agents’ mentality and public institutions are in harmony and do not contradict each other. It has been revealed that agents’ mentality significantly influences their attitude to public institutions and their behavior in situations of economic choice. It has been established that the higher the labor productivity of agents and the more developed and prosperous the society is, the faster the system goes into harmony.
