Consensus and Cohesion in Simulated Social Networks
Stocker, Rob; Green, David; Newth, David - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 4 (2001) 4, pp. 5-5
Social structure emerges from the interaction and information exchange between individuals in a population. The emergence of groups in animal and human social systems suggests that such social structures are the result of a cooperative and cohesive society. Using graph based models, where nodes...

Consequences of a progressive reduction of direct payments in Germany: paving the way for post-2013?
Kellermann, Konrad; Sahrbacher, Amanda; Sahrbacher, … - In: German Journal of Agricultural Economics 58 (2009) 4
Due to Germany’s specific farm structure, the progressive modulation of direct payments decided within the Health Check of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is of particular relevance for German agriculture. In this paper we apply the agent-based model AgriPoliS to shed some light on the...
