“…After Epstein and Axtell (1996) had created the Sugarscape model to analyse wealth distribution in society, economics research on ABM started to be published, such as the work of Rahman (2012), and Rahman, Setayeshi, & Zafarghandi (2007, 2009b, 2009a. Nevertheless, there has been limited ABM research published in the area of Islamic economics.…”

Zakat plays an undeniably significant role in social life. The enforcement of zakah in early Islamic history is evidence that it is a powerful tool for fostering economic growth. The economy under the reign of Caliphate Umar Ibn Abdul Azis even achieved a surplus, with no one having the right to receive zakah. Recent studies have attempted to link the role of zakah and economic growth qualitatively by arguing that zakah can contribute to economic development. However, the extent to which it has a multiplier effect on economic growth has not been examined. Considering this research gap, this study examines such an effect on economic growth, as represented by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). To capture the full impact of zakah on aggregate production, two scenarios are conducted, namely the economy with and without zakah. The simulation results show that zakah can promote aggregate production. On the other hand, the economy experiences lower aggregate production when there is no zakah. An agent-based computational model (ABM) simulation is employed to run the simulation. The application of ABM in this study is intended to introduce the use of computational study as an alternative method of developing research in Islamic economics.

“…Details on the indexes can be found in Section 4.2.4. The Gini coefficient approach is often used to represent equalities according to the Lorenz curve (Bosi and Seegmuller 2006;Lambert 1985;Rahman et al 2009). We first calculate the Gini coefficients per unit of GDP, population, basin area, and agricultural area for sub-basins in large rivers and for the year 2050.…”

“…To account for people, planet and profit simultaneously in optimization analyses, the Gini coefficient could be used (Figure 5.2). The Gini coefficient reflects equality of income or wealth within society according to the Lorenz curve (Lambert 1985;Rahman et al 2009). The Gini coefficient can also be used to reflect the equality in use of environmental resources, such as allocating the waste discharge permit (Chen et al 2012;Sun et al 2010;Wang et al 2016;Yuan et al 2017).…”

Nutrients and pesticides in Chinese waters : Future pollution and solutions

analyses can improve understanding of the impact of global change on pesticide pollution. This type of study is lacking in China.Food production is a large contributor to both nutrient and pesticide pollution in Chinese waters. However, other water pollutants exist. Moreover, under global change, losses of all pollutants associated with food production may change (Savary et al. 2014).These pollutants are interrelated, because they may have common sources or affect the same sectors. Moreover, they may interact in the environment. However, current modelling studies often analyze water quality for nutrients and pesticides separately for China, especially for large-scale water quality assessment. For air pollution problems, models are available that adopt a multi-pollutant perspective (Amann et al. 2004;Wagner et al. 2013). Such integrated models have successfully supported the international negotiation on air pollution control. For water pollution such integrated approaches are scarce. Therefore, a large-scale water quality model taking multipollutant perspectives will be the next focus of water quality assessments. P a g e | 10 Figure 1.1 The structure of the PhD thesis.
