MPMAS is an agent-based simulation package written in C++ and Perl that can be obtained from the download section of this website. MPMAS uses COIN to solve mathematical programming problems. MPMAS models are defined in text files that can be edited with any text editor. Input data can be stored in spreadsheets, csv files, or SQL databases. MPI-enabled versions of MPMAS can be run on high-performance computing systems with very large numbers of agents and pixels.
The Documentation section of this website features the software manuals and tutorials for using MPMAS. In addition, it documents the model equations and model parameters in our country applications of MPMAS.
The Downloads section contains a demo version of MPMAS, installation instructions and model datasets used in our various research projects.
Introductory courses for MPMAS are part of Hohenheim's Master Study program 'Agricultural Economics' and are taught in October and November each year. One-week tutorials were offered at University of Talca (2006), University of Legon (2007), Federal University of Viçosa (2011), State University of Campinas (2016), and Seoul National University (2016). Additional courses can be organized on request (please contact: mas at uni-hohenheim dot de).
