  1. What is an emergent phenomenon (emergence)? Give examples for emergent phenomena! Which modelling techniques can simulate emergent phenomena?
  2. From a system-theoretic view: What is the danger of a policy that only regards the short run? Why are complex socioeconomic systems hardly predictable (especially when seen from an SD perspective)? Give an example of a social system where the short run differs from the long run and why this is problematic!
  3. What is the small worlds phenomenon (what does it describe)? Describe the initial experiment that showed/measured the phenomenon! How is it connected to power-laws? Which kinds of networks are likely to show the small worlds phenomenon? How can a small worlds network form?
  4. Describe Schelling’s Segregation Model, how and what it tries to explain. What does the model predict? What did Schelling use to simulate it originally (computers?)?
