public class ZIFirm
extends ZIPlayer

ZIFirm represents a firm with a Zero Intelligence strategy to buying and selling goods, including ones that they may produce. It is assumed that a ZIfirm is under some form of emission control which requires a certain permit to produce output. Thus, upon creation of a ZIFirm, the commodity that this firm is producing and the permits it requires must be specified.

getEmissionRate

public int getEmissionRate()

Returns:

the firms emission rate

getTargetCapacity

public int getTargetCapacity()

Returns:

the output capacity for this firm

produceOutput

public void produceOutput()
