Timothy Clancy on “Evidence of Contagion – Role of Experiments, Confidence Building & Prediction Testing for the Terror Contagion Hypothesis”

In this Collective Learning Meeting (CLM), WPI System Dynamics will host Timothy Clancy (timc@dialecticsims.com) who will present

Evidence of Contagion – Role of Experiments, Confidence Building & Prediction Testing for the Terror Contagion Hypothesis 

Short Description: Timothy advances the terror contagion hypothesis presented in his PhD dissertation and hopes to facilitate a discussion on the nature of experimentation and confidence building with system dynamic simulations. The presentation, a very early-stage working draft, compares historical empirical data of 3-5 active and failed mass violence contagions against predictions made in the dissertation, simulation runs, and contingency analysis. Participants need no prior knowledge of the terror contagion hypothesis, but for those wishing to learn more about the hypothesis see Chapters 1-4 of his dissertation or of the Terror Contagion Simulation see https://www.mdpi.com/2079-8954/9/4/90/htm

Question(s) for the Audience:

  • What roles do you see for experimentation, prediction testing, and other confidence-building measures to improve hypotheses developed in the simulation?
  • Specifically, as an element of the above, what roles should falsification play?
  • Given the observations of the 3-5 contagions made to date, are there specific experiments, tests, or other measures to build confidence or reject portions of the terror contagion hypothesis you recommend?

Biography: Timothy Clancy is the founder and CEO of Dialectic Simulations and earned his PhD in System Dynamics at WPI.

We will record this meeting and post the video on the WPI System Dynamics Club YouTube channel.

Alexander Ryzhenkov on “Heredity and Variability in Macroeconomics: System Dynamic Models of Economic Growth and Cycles”

Please join WPI System Dynamics online Friday, Feb 10th 11AM ET (Boston time).

In this Collective Learning Meeting (CLM), the System Dynamics Society’s Economics SIG and WPI System Dynamics will host Alexander Ryzhenkov who will present

Heredity and Variability in Macroeconomics:
System Dynamic Models of Economic Growth and Cycles

Short Description: This work is based on the Marx theory of extended capitalist reproduction. Tutorial (theoretical) system dynamics models of increasing returns and industrial cycles will be presented.

Question(s) for the Audience:

  • How relevant are presented models for the modern technologically and institutionally advanced capitalist economy?
  • What are prospective avenues for further advance from abstract to concrete?
  • Could socially efficient counter-cyclical policies be designed and practically implemented?

Biography: The author’s information is reflected at https://www.ieie.su/persons/ryzhenkov-av.html

TGRR Focused Collective Learning Meeting – September

In this Transboundary Groundwater Resiliency Research (TGRR) focused CLM on Friday, September 30th 11AM ET (Here is a time converter), participants will summarize, discuss and reflect on the TGRR Annual Workshop, which is on September 28th and 29th from 9-11AM MT | 11AM – 1PM ET.

Participants do not need to attend the Annual Workshop to participate in this CLM. However, we strongly recommended that you do.

Note: This CLM is an hour later than the other CLMs this Fall semester because the TGRR Network of Networks consists of collaborators on Pacific time (USA).

Hosts: WPI System Dynamics, the Transboundary Groundwater Resiliency Research Network of Networks (TGRR NoN), and the System Dynamics Society’s Water SIG
