This agent-based model is intended to allow innovation in the form of new technologies, producers and consumers entering (and leaving) the system. Here we examine a disruption of consumption patterns akin to the economic crisis brought about in the real economy through the corona virus and the following Covid-19 pandemic.Attribution 4.0 Internationalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/article10.1162/isal_a_00336info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
