The field of Economics has been attempting to answer that for a rather long time. I don't mean to be glib - it turns out to be a damnably hard problem that's been battled by thousands for centuries. There's easily enough modeling, math, and intellectual know-how going into it to make it a fine engineering discipline (albeit ununified). Heck, the quants basically weaponized it into a science.
Of couse, the real problem is which model(s) to use, since that affects the system. The answer to that is probably "all of them", picking whichever one seems more appropriate. I'm thinking like a physicist here: sometimes you ignore gravity, and sometimes you ignore wave-partical duality.
