This model simulates a COVID outbreak occurring at Burnie, Tasmania.
It links the extent to the pandemic with governments intervention policies
aiming to limit the spread of the virus. The other part of the model illustrates
how will the COVID statistics and the government enforcement jointly influence
the economic environment in the community. A number of variables are taken into
account, indicating positive or negative relationship in the infection and the
economy model respectively.
Assumptions
·
Government takes responsive actions when the
number of acquired cases exceeds 10.
·
Government’s prompt actions, involving closure
of the state border, lockdown within the city, plans on mandatory vaccination
and testing, effectively control the infection status.
·
Economic activities are reduced due to stagnation
in statewide tourism, closure of brick-and-mortar businesses, and increased unemployment
rate, as results of government restrictions.
Insights
Government’s rapid intervention can effectively reduce the
infected cases. The national vaccination rollout campaign raises vaccination
rate in Australians, and particularly influence the death rate in the infection
model. Please drag the slider of vaccination to a higher rate and run the model
to compare the outcomes.
Although local economy is negatively affected by government restriction
policies, consumer demand in online shopping and government support payments
neutralize the negative impact on economy and maintain the level of economic
activities when infections get controlled.

This high-level
simulation model presented by Jay Forrester in his book World Dynamics, simulates
socio-economic-environmental world system. The world Model was created in a
time where pollution and other negative effects of industrialization and
economic growth started to become recognized in 1970. For this exam purpose, we have
rebuilt the model to do some experiments and analyze the results.
Based on the Market and Price simulation model in System Zoo 3, Z504. I made some more intrusive changes that make the model more realistic, or more 'economic', in another version 'simplified and improved'.
The more pioneer seed being sold, the more corn is grown. As more corn is grown, the more pioneer seeds are needed for the next harvest. More people began using the pioneer seeds, less people used the Ghanaian seeds. However, the pioneer seed is expensive, so not everyone could buy the pioneer seed. The more people using Ghanaian corn seeds, less people were using pioneer seeds.
Way out:
The best way out of this would probably be to lower the price of the pioneer seed. The pioneer seed produces more corn that is sweeter. People prefer this corn over the corn from the Ghanaian seeds. More people are using the pioneer seeds, so gradually Ghanaian seeds will no longer be used. Lowering the price of pioneer seeds will make it available to more farmers. This way, less farmers will go out of business from trying to compete with more sweeter corn.
