- [[measuring segregation]] # Idea Why do people segregate? Why is there segregation? Schelling used [[agent-based modeling]] to understand this problem. Individually, people can be very tolerant, but at the group/macro level, people segregate. Individually, people want somewhat mixed/diverse neighborhoods (e.g., 30-40% of people like themselves). But at the macrolevel, this individual preference actually leads to segregation. People's [[micromotives often do not align with macrobehavior]]. ![[Pasted image 20210428001844.png]] ## Tipping Exodus tip: One agent's behavior (e.g., leaving an environment) can cause another agent to perform a similar behavior. Genesis tip: One agent's behavior (e.g., entering an environment) can cause another agent to perform a different behavior (e.g., leave). # References - https://www.netlogoweb.org/launch#https://www.netlogoweb.org/assets/modelslib/Sample%20Models/Social%20Science/Segregation.nlogo
