Ning Cai, Hai-Ying Ma, M. Junaid Khan

TL;DR
This paper presents a dynamic agent-based model for rural-urban migration, highlighting how consensus among agents can destabilize the system, with simulations illustrating key stability considerations.
Contribution
It introduces a novel dynamic agent-based model incorporating network communication and analyzes stability issues in rural-urban migration scenarios.
Findings
Consensus can harm system stability
Communication network structure affects migration dynamics
Simulations identify conditions for stable migration patterns
Abstract
This paper develops a dynamic agent-based model for rural-urban migration, based on the previous relevant works. The model conforms to the typical dynamic linear multi-agent systems model concerned extensively in systems science, in which the communication network is formulated as a digraph. Simulations reveal that consensus of certain variable could be harmful to the overall stability and should be avoided.
