Compass-school
This Python implementation tries to model school choice and resulting school segregation based on the work of Schelling (1971) and Stoica & Flache (2014).

Description
- An agent-based model for primary-school choice
- empirically realistic -- used to simulate the city of Amsterdam
- can model strongly non-linear effects in for instance segregation
Participating organisations
Testimonials
Empirically calibrated agent-based modelling offers a powerful tool for future research, but it does require more computational power than traditional methodologies used in school choice/segregation research. Fortunately, the efforts Jisk Attema and Ji Qi from the eScience centre effectively helped us improving code efficiency.
