Peer Tutoring Session

Peer Tutoring Sessions are open sessions where attendees network and discuss systems and simulation.

Please come to this CLM if you have questions about:

  • Modeling and Analysis
  • Research/Writing/Publishing
  • Etc.

Or if you want to help others who may have questions.

We will not record this session but will take notes and share them. You can view the frequently asked questions (FAQ) from these sessions and more on our website.

Moo-Hyuk Lee on “Understanding Patient Outmigration from the Patients’ and Providers’ Perspective: A System Dynamics Approach”

Please join us online Friday, October 27th 11AM ET (Boston time. Here is a time converter). In this Collective Learning Meeting (CLM), WPI System Dynamics will host Moo-Hyuk Lee (mooohyuk@gmail.com) who will present

Understanding Patient Outmigration from the Patients’ and Providers’ Perspective: A System Dynamics Approach

Short Description: This presentation delves into our ongoing work on patient outmigration in South Korea. Outmigration, a characteristic phenomenon of the South Korean health system, refers to patients bypassing local hospitals and traveling further to Seoul (the capital city of South Korea) to receive treatment. To unravel the dynamic mechanisms driving outmigration, we designed a causal loop diagram which examined this phenomenon from the patients’ and providers’ perspective. At its simplest level, decrease in objective quality of the provincial hospitals induces the increase in outmigration through the decrease of perceived quality, which then results in quality deterioration by discouraging healthcare providers from working in provincial areas, forming a vicious cycle and reducing trust towards the healthcare system. An early stage of this model was presented at the Student-Organized Colloquium (SOC) of the International System Dynamics Conference (ISDC) in July 2023. Question(s) for the Audience: I seek general feedback on each aspect of the causal loop diagram. I would also like to get insights on what to do next in order to continuously develop the model. Biography: I am a master’s student in Health Policy and Management in Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea. My undergraduate major was in medicine. I am interested in the use of complex systems approach in healthcare, with prior experiences in agent-based modeling. Since I am relatively new to system dynamics, I would like this presentation to be a valuable opportunity for improving and refining my work. www.linkedin.com/in/moohyuklee001 Recording: We will record this presentation. Moo-Hyuk will share it by request. If you are interested in presenting your work, please contact Christine Tang (ctang@wpi.edu).

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
