Simulating Employment Location

Posted on January 8, 2012 by Michael Batty

As part of our ARCADIA project, we are taking employment forecasts for different sectors from Cambridge Econometrics input-output model, and then simulating location using two-stage regression. This in turn provides the inputs to our LUTI models. There is detail of the … Continue reading →

Is Digital Simulation the Same as Physical Experimentation?

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Michael Batty

Simulation models test theories against data we cannot reproduce in the physical environment their theory relates to. We cannot experiment on the real thing. But how different are simulations from experiments? In Science in Age of Computer Simulation, Winsberg presents … Continue reading →
