The 1990s is called "The Decade of the Environment," and has seen a marked increase in the public's concern for environmental issues. The public has been seeking to lessen the environmental impacts of daily activities. The number of "green" consumers, who purchase environmentally less harmful products, is increasing. On the other hand, marketers exhibit great variety in environmental performance. It is reported that information provision strategies, such as environmental labeling like Eco-Label in Japan, and the environmental ISO, play an important role on the pollution control. The disclosure strategies are attempts to increase the availability of information on the environmental burdens to the public. Although those strategies are expected to lead the public into having stronger concern for the environment and altering the behavior for the better, few theoretical and computational studies have so far been made. The purpose of this paper is to show an agent-based simulation method to analyze the roles of information provision strategies on environmentally sound behavior. A new methodology of poly-agent systems that was introduced by Takagi, Kijima and Deguchi (1995) is applied into the economic framework. In poly-agent systems approach, the term of "agent" means autonomous one, which is different from economic unit. The basic concept of the poly-agent systems is as follows. Each agent in a considering system has a subjective internal model. Each agent acts referring its own internal model and the others' and then modifies its activities. The considering system consists of a large number of those different autonomous agents. Poly-agent systems approach studies on the emergency that the interaction of micro autonomous agents causes a macro pattern of the system. In this paper, we argue that some concepts of individual and social learning are important to analyze the role of information provision on the environmentally sound behavior. Those concepts are applied to poly-agent systems and schematized conceptual models are shown. The availability of the method introduced here is discussed, compared with the method of traditional economic models.
