Modeling Human Migration Dynamics in Netlogo

Human Migration has often been the catalyst for the rise and fall of civilizations. It is imperative to study human migration dynamics if one is to gain insights into migratory behavior among human beings and how migration affects societies. There has been considerable research to study migration. This has given rise to some popular migration theories like the neoclassical approach, network migration, pull-push migration, etc. These theories shed light on some peculiar behaviors that influence the migration decision of an individual or a group, while also trying to predict the outcome of such actions. The goal of this project is to build and study agent-based models (ABM) of these existing migration theories using NetLogo. This project also aims to develop and propose an operational model that could potentially be used by policy makers to aid them in rational policymaking

Revisión de modelos migratorios

In this paper a review of different studies published in the academic literature related to the study of the migration of individuals is performed. About the studies reviewed different approaches can be observed; therefore, a classification of these is proposed, mainly finding models for human migration, migration of animals, spread of diseases and migration of other organisms. It is observed that a good number of works are developed to model the problem of human migration where they can be graded as models of migration for economic purposes, social migration; migration using information networks, family migration and finally the influence of migration in the foreign direct investment.En el presente documento se realiza una revisión sobre diferentes trabajos relacionados con el estudio de la migración de individuos, en estos se pueden observar diferentes enfoques, por lo que en la que se encuentran principalmente modelos realizados para la migración humana, migración de especies animales, propagación de enfermedades y migración de otros organismos. Se observa que un buen número de trabajos se desarrolla para modelar el problema de migración humana, puede establecerse entonces una clasificación teniendo modelos de migración con fines económicos, migración por aspectos sociales, migración empleando redes de información, migración familiar y, finalmente, la influencia de la migración en la inversión directa extranjera
