What Compass-school can do for you

  • 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

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.
