MATLAB

1) Introduction a. Explain what your over-arching topic is and the questions that will be addressed through your simulations. You may wish to provide a quick summary of your results. 2) Research questions a. Explain what the research questions are and why they are important. Have other researchers addressed these questions? If so, briefly discuss their findings. 3) Description of model being simulated a. Clearly describe the model being used and the assumptions you make about agents’ behaviour. b. Provide relevant equations for the model. Please use an equation editor in Word or a similar writing package to ensure that the model is well formatted. c. Specify the parameterization of your model and motivation for using such a parameterization. d. Explain what variations you will conduct in your simulation to answer your research questions. 4) Simulation Results a. For each research question, create a subsection where you present your simulation results. i. As you conduct different computational exercises, explain clearly what you are doing. ii. Explain quantitatively and qualitatively what effect your experimentation has on the outcome. 5) Conclusion a. In 1-2 paragraphs, briefly summarize what your research question was, what you did to answer your questions, and your results. b. Discuss the policy implications associated with your findings. c. If relevant, discuss any interesting avenues for possible research.
