本研究的目的是探讨企业间贸易结构模型的特征。我们通过基于主体的仿真开发了这个模型。为了适应商业市场的快速变化，每个公司都必须处理需求的变化和所需的数量变化。因此，该模型具有两个组合功能。第一个功能允许公司以分散的贸易结构与其他公司自由贸易。第二个功能允许企业作为一个集中的贸易结构来调节其他企业。到目前为止，组合模型在各种测试用例中运行良好。然而，其他交易环境尚未得到充分调查。因此，本研究着眼于详细的环境条件：(1)相似企业数量和(2)采购项目数量，并在基于agent的仿真中对模型的两个功能进行了深入的实验和详细的分析。仿真结果表明，与分散贸易结构中每个企业的规模既不特别大也不特别小的情况相比，在同时存在(1)大量类似企业和(2)拥有一定数量采购项目的企业的贸易环境条件下，组合模型中的两个函数特别有效。
The objective of this research is to investigate the features of an inter-firm trade structure model. We have developed this model through agent-based simulation. In order to adapt to rapid changes in the business market, each firm must deal with changes in requirements and the required volume changes. Thus, the model has two combined functions. The first function allows a firm to freely trade with other firms as a decentralized trade structure. The second function allows a firm to mediate other firms as a centralized trade structure. The combined model has worked well in various test cases so far. However, other trading environments have not been fully investigated. Therefore, this study focuses on the detailed environmental conditions: (1) the number of similar firms and (2) the number of procurement items, and deals with intensive experiments and detailed analysis of the two functions of the model in the agent-based simulations. The simulation results suggest that the two functions in the combined model work particularly well under the conditions of a trading environment in which there exist both (1) a large number of similar business firms and (2) firms with a certain number of procurement items, compared to the decentralized trade structure, where each firm’s size is neither particularly large nor small.
