Peer reviewedBest, John B. – Simulation and Games, 1978
Presents the results of a manual simulation, which consisted of a simple world model with several feedback loops, to emphasize the particular difficulty of the results of interpreting computer simulations using similar techniques. (CMV)

Peer reviewedCraig, C. Samuel; Brown, Lawrence A. – Simulation and Games, 1978
A game that simulates stages in the innovation diffusion process and allows research into the spatial and temporal spread of innovations is reported. The characteristis of player decision-making and factors underlying variation in the spatial patterning of diffusion are also discussed.

Peer reviewedVennix, Jac A. M.; Geurts, Jac L. A. – Simulation and Games, 1987
Describes design principles followed in developing an interactive microcomputer-based simulation to study financial and economic aspects of the Dutch social security system. The main goals are to improve participants' insights into the formal simulation model, and to improve policy development skills. Plans for future research are also discussed.…
