In an economic simulation, assumptions about human behavior and preferences, such as desired working hours, can lead to different outcomes depending on the goals being optimized.

“assumptions but it gets really interesting because you can also say if your assumptions are such that all people would work hard if you let them and you know they have the freedom and then it turns out you have to make assumptions like well some people's utility function of like how many hours in a day do they want to work are different right and then you can start to disagree on the assumptions that go into the into the simulation and then once you say all right now we agreed on those or we have different views of what”

“what people are like and different distributions and whatnot,”

“then there are different outcomes based on your goals.”
