System dynamics: a behavioral modeling method
Nowadays, there is an increasing integration of methods from economics and psychology in simulation that allow more rigorous approaches to addressing behavioral issues. One of these approaches is the use of laboratory and field experiments of individual and group decision making concerning human judgment and decision-making under uncertainty. System Dynamics, as a simulation methodology, has been employed successfully as a behavioral experimental tool. Some researchers suggest that System Dynamics models are behavioral models of business systems which uncover intended rationality (theories in use) in business decision making. This tutorial offers an opportunity to explore the antecedents of System Dynamics as a behavioral simulation modeling method and offers examples of uses of System Dynamics in laboratory experiments, field experiments and evaluation of theories-in-use by decision makers.

Abstract

Nowadays, there is an increasing integration of methods from economics and psychology in simulation that allow more rigorous approaches to addressing behavioral issues. One of these approaches is the use of laboratory and field experiments of individual and group decision making concerning human judgment and decision-making under uncertainty. System Dynamics, as a simulation methodology, has been employed successfully as a behavioral experimental tool. Some researchers suggest that System Dynamics models are behavioral models of business systems which uncover intended rationality (theories in use) in business decision making. This tutorial offers an opportunity to explore the antecedents of System Dynamics as a behavioral simulation modeling method and offers examples of uses of System Dynamics in laboratory experiments, field experiments and evaluation of theories-in-use by decision makers.
