Abstract:
The operation of a port, including its customs import processes, is an instance of a complex socio-technical system with multiple stakeholders. In order to provide insight for policy analysis, we posit the appropriateness of agent-based modelling techniques for the simulation of potential anti-corruption policies in the maritime customs context. We outline the design of an agent-based simulation calibrated on the customs processes of an archetypal Mediterranean container port.
