  1. 1. A spatially explicit model of segregation dynamics : Comparing the Schelling and the Sakoda model

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutet för analytisk sociologi, IAS

    Author : Philip Öberg; [2023]
    Keywords : residential segregation; agent-based modeling ABM ; social simulation; multi-dimensional measurement; multi-scale measurement;

    Abstract : The scientific consensus has for long been that residential segregation is best conceived of as a multidimensional phenomenon that can exist on several geographical scales (Massey & Denton, 1988; Lee et al., 2008; Reardon & O’Sullivan, 2004; Reardon et al., 2008). READ MORE

  3. 2. The Slow Spread of Environmentally Friendly Action : An agent-based model simulation of social networks

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Sociologiska institutionen

    Author : Till Kolligs; [2023]
    Keywords : network analysis; agent based model; tipping point; climate action; complex contagion; vegetarianism;

    Abstract : The adoptation of environmentally friendly behaviour is rather slow, although the climate crisis is pressing. This thesis aims to understand the slow adoption of environmentally friendly behaviour, specifically focusing on vegetarianism and veganism, by employing social network analysis. READ MORE

  4. 3. The User Needs Of Agent-Based Modelling Experts : What Information Architecture reveals about ABM frameworks

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Author : Bertilla Fabris; [2023]
    Keywords : Agent-based Modelling; ABM; Usability; Information Architecture; Computer and Information Science; ABSS; Agent-based Social Simulation; Agent Based Modelling; Agent-Based Modeling; Agent Based Modeling;

    Abstract : Present-day Agent Based Modelling is used to simulate complex systems in which agents are explicitly heterogeneous. Researchers within the field of ABM have a set of tools at their disposal, yet little is known about the usability and learnability of these systems. READ MORE

  5. 4. Auctions for a Brighter Future - Using an Agent-Based Model to Simulate Auctions of Solar PV in Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

    Author : Björn Danielsson; Fredrik Özaras; [2022-07-07]
    Keywords : RES Auctions; Solar PV; Sustainability; Climate Change; Renewable Energy; Environmental Economics; Agent-based Modeling; Auction simulation; Sweden;

    Abstract : Global warming is one of the most pressing threats to humanity of our time. One of the areas where transitioning towards sustainability is most urgent is in the energy sector. In this thesis, the implementation of an auction-based subsidy scheme for solar photovoltaics (PV) in Sweden is modeled and analyzed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Carrots, Sticks, and Other Tricks: Understanding the effectiveness and robustness of social mechanisms for encouraging cooperation in a complex adaptive system

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Thomas Atherton; Andreas Bergström; [2022]
    Keywords : Agent-based modelling; Behavioural; Complexity; Cooperation; Evolutionary;

    Abstract : Cooperation is critical for success in many economic interactions, but social dilemmas between the best outcomes for society and for individual decision-makers often arise. This thesis adds to existing game-theoretic and behavioural studies by evaluating cooperation in the public goods game (a canonical social dilemma) in a more complex, realistic system. READ MORE
