Contextualised mobility histories of moving desires and actual moving behaviour

Coulter, Rory; Ham, Maarten van - 2011

experiencing particular life events affects mobility decision-making and behaviour throughout individual lifetimes. Yet although a … growing body of longitudinal research links mobility decision-making to subsequent moving behaviour, most studies focus solely …

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...

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...

Optimal spatial taxation : are big cities too small?

Eeckhout, Jan; Guner, Nezih - 2015

We analyze the role of optimal income taxation across different local labor markets. Should labor in large cities be taxed differently than in small cities? We find that a planner who needs to raise revenue and is constrained by free mobility of labor across cities does not choose equal taxes...

Determinants and policy simulation of firms cooperation in innovation

Heshmati, Almas; Lenz-Cesar, Flávio - 2013

This research introduces an agent-based simulation model representing the dynamic processes of cooperative R&D in the … translated into simulation parameters which are calibrated to the point that the simulated artificial world are equivalent to the … one observed in the real world. The aim of the simulation game is to investigate the differences in sector responses to …
