In Western countries, the distribution of relative incomes within marriages tends to be skewed in a remarkable way. Husbands usually do not only earn more than their female partners, but there also is a striking discontinuity in their relative contributions to the household income at the 50/50 point: many wives contribute just a bit less than or as much as their husbands, but few contribute more. Our model makes it possible to study a social mechanism that might create this ‘cliff’: women and men differ in their incomes (even outside marriage) and this may differentially affect their abilities to find similar- or higher-income partners. This may ultimately contribute to inequalities within the households that form. The model and associated files make it possible to assess the merit of this mechanism in 27 European countries.

NetLogo implementation of Linear Threshold model of influence propagation.

The purpose of the model is to examine the strength of network connections in a ceremonial exchange network in a non-hierarchical society.

Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity has many strategic and operational objectives. One operational objective is to develop common and efficient information systems that maybe the source of creating

This is a first preliminary simulation model to model segregation in the city of Salzburg, Austria.

This model is a more comprehensive version of the original model; descriptions and expanations are added

In this model agents meet, evaluate one another, decide whether or not to date, if and when to become sexual partners, and when to break up.

The TechNet_04 is an abstract model that embeds a simple cultural tranmission process in an environment where interaction is structured by spatially-situated networks.

ForagerNet3_Demography is a non-spatial ABM for exploring hunter-gatherer demography. Key methods represent birth, death, and marriage. The dependency ratio is an imporant variable in many economic decisions embedded in the methods.

This model implements a Spatial Prisoner’s Dilemma with the option to change whether agents interact deterministically or stochastically.
