متن کاملDouble-layer Dynamics Theory and Human Migration after Catastrophic Events
This paper presents a new application of double-layer dynamics theory (DLD) in modelling dynamics of human migration problems reformulated as transportation networks problems. Recent results in DLD allow for generalizing existing migration models by accounting for sudden (discontinuous) changes in migration flows as a consequence of, for example, natural disasters or catastrophic events.

The study of complex phenomena, such as the interplay between human and natural systems, requires models. To allow for an orderly study of the effects of individual actions the model must comprise different scales of granularity, individuals and aggregates. In a joint research project between IIASA (Austria), DSV (Sweden) and the Hungarian Academy of Science, the flooding problem of Upper Tisza...

The measure can be decomposed into the probability that medical expenditure exceeds a threshold, the loss due to predictably low consumption of other goods if it does and the further loss arising from the volatility of medical expenses above the threshold. Depending on the choice of threshold, the measure is co...
