ZIMOD: A Simple Computer Model of the Zimbabwean Economy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Knox, Jon; And Others – Social Science Computer Review, 1988
This paper describes a rationale for the construction and use of a simple consistency model of the Zimbabwean economy that incorporates an input-output matrix. The model is designed to investigate alternative industrial strategies and their consequences for the balance of payments, consumption, and overall gross domestic product growth for a…

PWORLD: A Precedent-Based Global Simulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schrodt, Philip A. – Social Science Computer Review, 1988
Describes a world model computer simulation which is characteristic of the nineteenth-century world system, with five large, five medium, and 10 small nations. States that the simulation can only follow one of three distinct strategies to maximize growth. (Author/BSR)

When a Model Needs a Model: Convincing Skeptics of Counterintuitive Results--An Example from Affirmative Action Modeling.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Feinberg, William E. – Social Science Computer Review, 1988
This article describes a monte carlo computer simulation of affirmative action employment policies. The counterintuitive results of the model are explained through a thought device involving urns and marbles. States that such model simulations have implications for social policy. (BSR)

INTERNATIONAL FUTURES: History and Status.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hughes, Barry B. – Social Science Computer Review, 1988
Describes how the International Futures Global Model (IFS) was developed for education and theory building. States that the model represents global demographic, agricultural, energy, and economic systems. Describes the two existing versions: a smaller one developed specifically for microcomputers and a larger one initially developed for mainframe…
