Agent-based social simulations for health crises response: utilising the everyday digital health perspective
Frontiers in Public Health Abstract There is increasing recognition of the role that artificial intelligence (AI) systems can play in managing health crises. One such approach, which allows for analysin

The Origin of Status Inequality: A Simulation-Based Study
Gianluca Manzo, Sociology Sorbonne Status hierarchies have the characteristic of being increasingly asymmetric distributions that, however, never turn into winner-take-all structures. In this paper we
Effects of Sharing Parental Leave on Pensioners’ Poverty and Gender Inequality in Old Age. A simulation in IFSIM
This paper aims to study the theoretical linkages between the design of the pension system and that of the labor market and their interplay in determining poverty outcomes in old age, particularly fro
The implications of learning across perceptually and strategically distinct situations
Synthese, 1-18. Abstract Game theory is a formal approach to behavior that focuses on the strategic aspect of situations. The game theoretic approach originates in economics but has been embraced by sch
Simulating the Future Pension Wealth and Retirement Saving in Sweden
In this paper, wealth consequences of the Swedish pension system in the transition from a defined benefit to notional defined contribution system are simulated with almost exact institutional detail,

Pitfalls in Spatial Modelling of Ethnocentrism
Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 16 (3) 2 http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/16/3/2.html Abstract Ethnocentrism refers to the tendency to behave differently towards strangers based only on
Low Fertility and Long Run Growth in an Economy with a Large Public Sector
An important mechanism in low fertility countries is social interactions and its effects on ideal family size; as this is hard to capture in formal models, this paper uses an agent based simulation mo
IFSIM Handbook
This handbook explains the simulation model IFSIM, which is an agent based simulation model written in JAVA. The model is constructed for analyzing demographic and economic issues and its aim is to in
