QMSS2, Leeds, 02-09/07/09
Advantages of Static MSM:
quicker to run
simpler to develop and understand
lower costs: computing resources, skills and development time
often with very detailed programme simulations
Approaches of modelling social systems
![Page 9: QMSS2, Leeds, 02-09/07/09 Dynamic population model and an application for Leeds B.M.Wu School of Geography University of Leeds](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649c5a5503460f9490390e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
QMSS2, Leeds, 02-09/07/09
Advantages of Dynamic MSM:
more details
better representation of population ageing, especially in long term, as it accounts interim changes in economic and demographic trends
generally accepted more realistic representation of micro population unit changes
Approaches of modelling social systems

MSM: Spatial and non-Spatial
Approaches of modelling social systems
“One can not be at two places at the same time.”(Hägerstrand, 1967)
“Means are to be employed somewhere.” (De Man, 1998)
People have to live in a local area and they are affected by local environment.

An application of Leeds: modelling objectives
Modelling objectives:
To develop a complete representation of the Leeds population at a fine spatial scale
To produce rich, detailed and robust forecasts of the future population of Leeds
To investigate scenarios which relate demographics to service provision

Modelling Description Dynamic representation of key demographic events /transactions in a geographically identified population Macrosimulation and microsimulation models (MSM) are alternative ways of realising the processes (van Imhoff and Post, 1998) We use a spatial MSM of the population and its dynamics, but the structure parallels the macro multi-state cohort-component (MSCC) projection model An MSM depends on good data on the important transitions experienced by individuals We experimented with an Agent Based Model(ABM) for a sub-population, students, where empirical data on migration has often proved problematic
![Page 15: QMSS2, Leeds, 02-09/07/09 Dynamic population model and an application for Leeds B.M.Wu School of Geography University of Leeds](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649c5a5503460f9490390e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
QMSS2, Leeds, 02-09/07/09
What does that mean? Scale
Leeds population:760,000 Each individual has about 60 individual variables +
20 household variables + area variables
Various probabilities/rates eg: localised single year of age based mortality probabilities
Movement, interaction and behaviour
Distinctive behaviours from various population groups in different demographic processes
Interdependency of household and individual variables in different demographic processes
![Page 16: QMSS2, Leeds, 02-09/07/09 Dynamic population model and an application for Leeds B.M.Wu School of Geography University of Leeds](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649c5a5503460f9490390e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
QMSS2, Leeds, 02-09/07/09
Demographic processes in the MSM
6 modularised processes :
simple processes
complex processes
individuals and households

Characteristics of student migrants
Students are highly mobile during their studies in the universities
Mostly only move around the area close to the universities where they study, NOT in the suburban areas
Most of them will leave the city once they finish their study, NOT growing old in the suburban areas
Due to the replenishment of the student population each year, the population of the small areas where university student stay tends to remain younger than other areas
![Page 20: QMSS2, Leeds, 02-09/07/09 Dynamic population model and an application for Leeds B.M.Wu School of Geography University of Leeds](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649c5a5503460f9490390e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

ABM
An alternative approach that models individuals as agents through their interactions with each other and the environment that they live in.
It is very flexible to introduce heterogeneous agents with distinctive behaviours through their built-in rules
It is useful in modelling features of the population where knowledge and data is lacking (Billari et al. , 2002).

ABM experiments: Student Migrants We recognise the following groups:
•First year undergraduates•Other undergraduates•Master students•Doctoral students
We apply the following general rules:•Each group is allowed set years to stay in the area •Students prefer to stay with their fellow students•Students stay close to their university of study, subject to housing availability•They don’t “do” marriage and fertility

We have discussed the difficulty in modelling the social systems and various modelling approaches.
IBM provide detailed info at individual level and MSM is an important social modelling approach, especially in assisting public policy development and planning.
Dynamic MSM provides a more realistic reflection of the studied system than static MSM.
Typical dynamic MSM structure and functions.
MSM depends on quality data and may be strengthened by complementary techniques such as ABM where there is a knowledge gap.
