population growth of Switzerland over a period of 114 years‚ from 1900-2014‚ calculating the growth rate and predicting the future population. I chose this topic as I live in Switzerland and wanted to find out how the country has developed over 114 years. It therefore is of relevance to me. We were discussing population growth trends in geography class and it interested me how different countries had different growth patterns. In general‚ I wanted to learn more about modeling a population growth so that

This technical note is a quick introduction to the use of diffusion models in forecasting. We use diffusion models in cases where an innovation diffuses through a population. In this note we focus on the simplest diffusion model: the logistic model. This model produces the familiar “S” curve in which a period of rapid acceleration is followed by deceleration and‚ finally‚ saturation. The graphs on the right show a logistic growth process. There is some base population that “adopts” the new innovation

Study Guide for Final Exam The final will be cumulative‚ although much of the test will focus somewhat more heavily on the material covered since the last midterm. There will be some questions that have been taken directly from the two earlier midterms. You’ll almost certainly recognize these questions; if you’ve reviewed the earlier exams with me in class (or in person) & know the answers to most or all of the questions‚ you’ll breeze through them. Read each question carefully‚ though‚ as

Stage 1‚low growth (high birth and high death rates)‚stage 2‚high growth (high birth and low death rates)‚ stage 3‚moderate growth(low birth and low death rates)‚ and stage 4‚ low growth(low birth and steady death). Countries that are in stages 2 and 3 are growing rapidly‚ without a fast food production. For example‚ in lesser developed countries

shortage of food in the future. Malthus was not the first to state such an idea; the following was written in the Bible: “When goods increase‚ those who eat them increase.” (Ecclesiastes 5) Not only was Malthus relatively correct with his model population and food models‚ but he was also correct in that there would be an overall improvement to the lives of people in the future. The question still remains as to how mankind can escape such a food shortage as described by Malthus. One such way to deal

Recall that in the Harrod-Domar‚ Kaldor-Robinson‚ Solow-Swan and the Cass-Koopmans growth models‚ we have maintained‚ either explicitly or implicitly‚ that technical change is "exogenous". In the Schumpeter version‚ this was not true: we had "swarms" of inventors arising under particular conditions. The Smithian and Ricardian models also had technical change arising from profit-squeezes or‚ in the particular case of Smith‚ arising because of previous technical conditions. Allyn A. Young (1928)
