An Agent-Based Modeling Approach to Brain Drain

چکیده
The phenomenon of brain drain, that is the emigration highly skilled people, has many undesirable effects, particularly for developing countries. In this study, an agent-based model developed to understand dynamics such emigration. We hypothesise people's decisions are based on several factors including overall economic and social difference between home host countries, ability capacity obtain good jobs start a life abroad, barriers moving abroad. Furthermore, network individuals also plays significant role. validated using qualitative quantitative pattern matching with real-world observations. Sensitivity uncertainty analyses performed in addition scenario analyses. Linear random forest response surface models created provide quick predictions number emigrants as well effect sizes individual parameters. Overall, study provides abstract where drain can be explored. Findings from simulation outputs show future socioeconomic state country more important than current state, lack results large emigrants, effects ensue compounding Upon further development customisation, versions assist decision-making policymakers regarding drain.

Slumulation: An Agent-Based Modeling Approach to Slum Formations
Slums provide shelter for nearly one third of the world’s urban population, most of them in the developing world. Slumulation represents an agent-based model which explores questions such as i) how slums come into existence, expand or disappear ii) where and when they emerge in a city and iii) which processes may improve housing conditions for urban poor. The model has three types of agents tha...
متن کاملAn Agent Based Approach to Modeling Design Teams
It is well recognized that an effective design process is contingent on the joint optimization of both the social and technical aspects of such an activity. Thus interactions between individual designers, within integrated product teams, and the nature of design tasks, all have a significant impact upon how well a design task can be performed, and hence the quality of the resultant product and ...
متن کاملFor an Integrated Approach to Agent-Based Modeling of Science
The goal of this paper is to provide a sketch of what an agent-based model of the scientific process could be. It is argued that such a model should be constructed with normative claims in mind: i.e. that it should be useful for scientific policy making. In our tentative model, agents are researchers producing ideas that are points on an epistemic landscape. We are interested in our agents find...
متن کاملAn Agent Operationalization Approach for Context Specific Agent-Based Modeling
The potential of agent-based modeling (ABM) has been demonstrated in various research fields. However, three major concerns limit the full exploitation of ABM; (i) agents are too simple and behave unrealistically without any empirical basis, (ii) 'proof of concept' applications are too theoretical and (iii) too much value placed on operational validity instead of conceptual validity. This paper...
