EU Regulations - 13 factors to show their benefits by Kai Neumann

Just a small model to explore the current discussion on the Omnibus procedure in the EU, the idea to have less regulation and fewer restrictions to produce as cheap as possible. I have modeled more details in other models but this one here shows the fact that a lot what we consider being costs are actually investments with an increased domestic value creation - though even catastrophes add to the BIP unless you count the decrease in productivity (...).

Why so many autocracies? by Kai Neumann

a fairly trivial, descriptive model as a reaction to some recent studies on the rise of autocracies. on a closer look it reveals that reckless people have the levers to trigger reinforcing feedback loops of policies against the benefits of all. the balancing feedback loops that can cause a regime change face these levers as obstacles. and even if there is no control of media, there are charismatic leaders, and there are free elections - the people in hard times still remain susceptible to wrong memes. so...

Erfolg mit guten Mitarbeitern by Dirk Schink

Dies ist ein Mini-Modell, welche Faktoren um die Frage kreisen: Warum sind Mitarbeiter/innen (MAs) wichtig für meinen Erfolg und wie binde, entwickle und finde ich "gute" MAs? Das Modell erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Die reale Welt kann man sowieso nicht abbilden. Die Grundmuster werden auf Basis der Ursache-Wirkungs-Modellierung mit der Know-Why-Methode und dem iModeler jedoch schnell transparent. Für weitere Frage stehe ich Ihnen gerne zur Verfügung. Dirk Schink Brater - Projektleiter - C...

The rise of resistance against climate policies by Kai Neumann

Whether it is Germany's "Heizungsgesetz" or the European Union's "Renaturation Law" there is a certain pattern how resistance evolves. Recently I was on workation sailing the Baltic Sea observing lots of signs of movements against the implementation of protected natural habitats in the Baltic Sea. The fishing 'industry', the tourism, and the water sports enthusiasts all seem united in their protest against the protection of the Baltic Sea. Fact is, that the Baltic Sea is in an extremely poor condition ca...

Oil System Model by pierreweidemann@w*

The "Oil System Model" tries to show the significant influences on the price of oil and their implications. Originally created by Gene Bellinger Feel free to join in on the modeling by clicking the collaborative link. Source  - -http://www.systemswiki.org/index.php?title=Oil_System_Model

PiM Mini Model on Associated Costs by Kai Neumann

This mini model shows one of two ways to calculate costs within PROCESS-iMODELER models. Costs can be either as shown here the directly associated costs or like shown in another model the costs of the availability of the resources. For the associated costs you simply connect the process factors to a normal factor and use the costs() function times the process. The costs() value of each process step is the sum of the costs (a parameter of the resource- and level-resource factors) that are connected with t...
