Latest Models
- A Simulation of Arab Spring Protests Informed by Qualitative Evidence - first version
Joint work with Stephanie Dornschneider to learn about how to bridge between a qualitative analysis of narrative data and a simulation design.
- Lamest Model
The Labour Markets and Ethnic Segmentation (LaMESt) Model is a model of a simplified labour market, where only jobs of the lowest skill level are considered. Immigrants of two different ethnicities (“Latino”, “Asian”) compete with a majority (“White”) and minority (“Black”) native population for these jobs. This model has been developed within the research project Social Complexity of Immigration and Diversity
- DiDIY Factory Model
The DiDIY Factory Model extends the Model of Making to an application in work and organisation. It models an abstract factory with supervisors, workers, machines and incoming jobs, requesting (sequences of) tasks to be performed. The purpose of this model is to investigate the impact Digital Do-It-Yourself (DiDIY) could have on the domain of work and organisation.
- A Model of Social and Cognitive Coherence
A model which combines changing social network and beliefs within a Coherency framework..
