Addressing inequality and poverty with tax instruments [PDF]
There is a consensus, in both academia and economic policy circles, that the reform of the personal income tax system in Serbia is necessary one. Two frequently discussed reform scenarios are East European style flat tax and the comprehensive income ...

Assessment of Personal Rapid Transit System Configurations Regarding Efficiency and Service Quality
In order to transform cities into more liveable, safe, and sustainable places, we must shift our mobility paradigms. As one auspicious concept amongst novel intelligent transportation systems, personal rapid transit (PRT) disaggregates urban ...

Automatic Calibration of Microscopic Traffic Simulation Models Using Artificial Neural Networks
Traffic simulations are valuable tools for urban mobility planning and operation, particularly in large cities. Simulation-based microscopic models have enabled traffic engineers to understand local transit and transport behaviors more deeply and manage ...

Modelling within a thermodynamic framework : a footnote to Sanders (1999)
Many modellers use micro-level dynamics to study aggregate behaviours. Since this approach was pioneered in physics, I call it "Thermodynamic modelling".

Microsimulation and Policy Analysis [PDF]
We provide an overview of microsimulation approaches for assessing the effects of policy on income distribution. We focus on the role of tax-benefit policies and review the concept of microsimulation and how it contributes to the analysis of income distribution in general and policy evaluation in particular.

The OncoSim-Breast cancer microsimulation model [PDF]
ABSTRACTBackgroundThe increasing demand for health care resources requires measures to evaluate the impact of cancer control approaches. A cancer simulation model can help integrate new knowledge to inform clinical and policy decisions. OncoSim-Breast is a breast cancer simulation model.
