The model is based on mathematical equations describing the socio-economic characteristics of the agents and their behaviors. The main assumption of the model is the objective of individuals to find decent (formal) employment.

Multifactorial because it considers economic and socio-demographic aspects in the decision to migrate in the two regions concerned by migration (origin and destination), and multidimensional because it integrates micro and macroeconomic analysis levels according to their economic, social and political dimensions.We use an agent-based model (ABM) that allows us to consider several parameters simultaneously unlike conventional methods. It also offers the opportunity to study the interactions at the micro economic level and simulate the emerging macroeconomic behavior. ABM also facilates testing multiple configurations of the studied process quickly, unlake intuitively or analytically methods.Two types of agents are considered: regions and individuals. Their behavior is controlled by a set of evolution’s rules and constraints and is formulated by mathematical equations.

Ce travail a pour objectif de repondre a la problematique d’etudier et d’analyser l’impact des economies d’agglomeration sur le choix de la localisation des activites, en utilisant comme outil les indices de concentration, de specialisation et diversite economique.
