Demonstrating complexity with a roleplaying simulation: investing in water in the Indrawati Subbasin, Nepal

Abstract

1631985 2015 Research ReportsThe publications in this series cover a wide range of subjects-from computer modeling to experience with water user associations-and vary in content from directly applicable research to more basic studies, on which applied work ultimately depends. Some research reports are narrowly focused, analytical and detailed empirical studies; others are wide-ranging and synthetic overviews of generic problems.Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI staff, and by external reviewers. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files. Reports may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment. About IWMIIWMI's mission is to provide evidence-based solutions to sustainably manage water and land resources for food security, people's livelihoods and the environment. IWMI works in partnership with governments, civil society and the private sector to develop scalable agricultural water management solutions that have a tangible impact on poverty reduction, food security and ecosystem health.

Economic and Labour Market Impacts of Migration in Austria: An Agent-Based Modelling Approach

“…The decision-making process of each agent in this model is based on their experiences, biases, assets, and perceptions, which contribute to the heterogeneity of agents and their responses to environmental stimuli and the actions of others. There is a growing number of other ABMs analysing the impact of climatic and ecological conditions as drivers of migration, for example, Naivinit et al (2010) and Janmaat et al (2015).…”

Migration processes modelling: methods and tools (overview)

“…Моделирование процессов миграции населения 1217 2010] и Непала [Janmaat et al, 2015], миграция в этом случае зависела от региональных климатических условий и слабой развитости инженерной инфраструктуры. В этих моделях агенты покидают село вынужденно, так как деградация аграрной экосистемы не обеспечивает им дохода даже на минимальном уровне.…”
