Model The Discrete Logistic
The logistic is the simplest representation of population dynamics that contains a minimum level of biological realism. If we imagine a population of individuals at time t, the number of individuals in the next period (periods can range from seconds … -
Model The effect of scaling and connection on the sustainability of a socio-economic resource system
Most modeling exercises on resource-population dynamics of a socio-economic system assume that many growth-related phenomena are linearly related to population size. The model presented here departs from this linear thinking by exploring potential non-linear relationships, or power-law scaling behaviors, with … -
Model The Evolution of Social Norms in Common Property Resource Use
This is a simple evolutionary game model (based on replicator equations) that couples evolution of users' social norms and renewable resource dynamics. The reference article, Sethi and Somanathan (1996), provides the following overview of the model. \"The problem of extracting … -
Model The inevitability of surprise in agroecosystems
This is a simple model of competition between noxious and benigne weeds in an agroecosystem based on predator-prey dynamics. The interesting aspect of this model is that it demonstrates the inevitability of surprises in system behavior - meaning that for … -
Model Tourists and traditional divers in a common fishing ground
A social-ecological model of a fishing ground open to eco-tourism is presented here. To assess the impact of introducing eco-tourism on the welfare of the fishing association and on the resource level, Lee and Iwasa (2011) constructs a model in … -
Model Two-actor conflict with time delay: A dynamical model
Based on previous mathematical studies, the authors created a model to analyze the conflict dynamics between two actors. In this model, they modified previous nonlinear dynamical models by Liebovitch et al. (2008) and Liebovitch, Vallacher, & Michaels (2010) by considering … -
Model Waterwheel Model
This model describes the dynamics of a waterwheel. The wheel has 10 cups that are filled when as they pass over the top of the arc of the wheel (imagine a Ferris wheel where instead of seats there are buckets. … -
Model World-Earth System Model
This model is a very simple regional growth model with a single global externality.
