Abstract

The dynamic modelling of socio-economic processes has recently attracted wide attention. The description of such processes is usually based on plausible assumptions about the macro-state of the system and the interaction of the aggregate variables (cf. for example Birkin and Wilson, 1985; Wilson, 1971, 1974; Wilson and Clarke, 1979; Clarke and Wilson, 1983; Harris and Wilson, 1978; Lombardo and Rabino, 1983; Pumain, Saint-Julien, and Sanders, 1984; Johansson and Nijkamp, 1984). In particular, this principle of model building has been applied successfully to systems in equilibrium. But it is questionable whether this concept can also be generalized to socio-economic processes far from equilibrium. On the other hand there exists considerable literature concerning the behaviour of individuals with respect to their decisions between alternative attitudes on the micro-scale.
