Abstract

This article presents an agent-based modelof Prato, an Italian textile district where thousands of sma1l firms specialise into tiny phases of the whole production process. It is an empirical model at scale 1: 1 that reconstructs the information flows between economic actors and connects them to structural properties of the district. It studies the evolution of Prato from 1975 to 1997.
