Models, Models and More Models
2011This chapter investigates the main approaches used to analyze competition for investment through investment incentives. We begin with general approaches to assessing the use of incentives, including Prisoners’ Dilemma, models in the Tiebout (1956) tradition, incentives as necessary to generate spillovers and the global vs. local efficiency matrix. Next,

Abstract The first hundred years of air pollution modeling, from 1859 to 1959, introduced the box model for urban pollution concentration and point source plume models. It ended with the introduction of the electronic digital computer to modeling. In the next decade, until 1969, urban models more sophisticated than the box model became operational ...

The concept of model has deep historical roots and definitely it is not unambiguous. Especially it is used in both common life and science. In this book, we think of a model as a simplified representation of the reality. Depending on the goal of investigation, a human makes some simplifications intentionally leaving the real system without many details

On Models, Modelling, and the Exemplary
2000Abstract We may recall the statement that to imitate is to follow the example of exemplary models. The method is a central characteristic of the exemplary society. But learning from models is more than a simple pedagogical method. It represents the culmination of an imitative-repetitive culture.
