How diverse can spatial measures of cultural diversity be? : results from Monte Carlo simulations of an agent-based model
Arribas-Bel, Daniel; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2014
Cultural diversity is a complex and multi-faceted concept. Commonly used quantitative measures of the spatial distribution of culturally-defined groups – such as segregation, isolation or concentration indexes - are often only capable of identifying just one aspect of this distribution. The...

The labour supply effect of education maintenance allowance and its implications for parental altruism
Holford, Angus - 2015
Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) was a UK government cash transfer paid directly to children aged 16-18, in the first two years of post-compulsory full-time education. This paper uses the labour supply effect of EMA to infer the magnitude of the transfer response made by the parent, and so...

Tipping and residential segregation : a unified schelling model
Zhang, Junfu - 2009
This paper presents a Schelling-type checkerboard model of residential segregation formulated as a spatial game. It shows that although every agent prefers to live in a mixed-race neighborhood, complete segregation is observed almost all of the time. A concept of tipping is rigorously defined,...

Institution formation and cooperation with heterogeneous agents
Kube, Sebastian; Schaube, Sebastian; … - 2014
Driven by an ever-growing number of studies that explore the effectiveness of institutional mechanisms meant to mitigate cooperation problems, recent years have seen an increasing interest in the endogenous implementation of these institutions. In this paper, we test within a unified framework...
