world democracy by Kai Neumann

Whether it is FIFA or the UN or just the USA: the challenge is to get the voting for wise decisions Originally I thought it would be the same model for all three cases, but now I think  - FIFA sustains its system of corruption as those who profit from it directly vote for it (not the nations or organizations but its representatives) - the current UN or world security council suffers from the blockades mainly from China and Russia who do not want the UN to interfere in other countries.

PiM: Process of building a new garden house (Likelihood of Developments) 7 by Kai Neumann

The aim of this little model is to explore the project modeling possibilities of the PROCESS-iMODELER (it is called PROCESS-iMODELER though it is just a feature of the quantitative iMODELER). The project at hand is the building of a small garden house. The model probably isn't complete in its details as it just should show the functionality. This version of the garden house model shows how to model likelihoods of incidents e.g. of a person becoming ill or the occurrence of a quality problem.

London's Housing Crisis - a collaborative modeling experience by Kai Neumann

On LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2639211/2639211-6171315685852012548?trk=hb_ntf_COMMENTED_ON_GROUP_DI...) Bob Bollen asks for ways to model London's housing crisis. While some suggestions are rather complicated (some imho outdated) I'd like to suggest to just start with it in a way that not just experts but also stakeholders can read a model and contribute to it. So here is the start of a collaborative model.  Please ask for any further assistance / guidance using the comment functions on kno...

Benefits of a carbon tax (CO2 emissions taxation) by Kai Neumann

Just a small qualitative model examining the benefits from a carbon tax. The weighting and the arguments are rather conservative. Yet, I think it is an extremely powerful way to transition towards more intelligent solutions using simple market forces instead of unpopular regulation.
