Trust in the marketplace: an exploratory computer simulation
Article Abstract:
The relationship between mobility within the marketplace and the opportunity for unethical business behavior was examined. Computer modeling techniques were used to simulate ease of entry into and exit from markets as well as the interactions of consumers and producers. Results showed that greater mobility increases the likelihood for producers to mistreat consumers, scaring the latter away and creating a local shortage in the process. Producers with strictly limited marketplace mobility are forced to bear the consequences of this shortage.
