🧪 Economic Development Simulation

Interactive 3D simulation of the Lewis dual-sector development model: watch workers migrate from subsistence agriculture into an industrializing sector as capital accumulates, until the economy reaches the Lewis turning point.

Economics & Social Systems2DModerate60 FPS📱 Mobile-adapted

This simulation demonstrates economic development through the classic Lewis dual-sector model: a green subsistence-agriculture zone and a blue industrializing zone, with workers migrating between them as capital accumulates and wages shift. Adjust the reinvestment rate, industrial productivity, subsistence wage floor and capital depreciation to see how policy choices speed up or stall structural transformation, and watch the economy approach the Lewis turning point where surplus agricultural labor runs out.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation demonstrates economic development principles by allowing users to make decisions that influence a simulated economy. It explores factors like investment, trade, and resource management.
