I. INTRODUCTTPM T0 >IHE MQDEL
A,. Brief Description of the Model
In a sense, the RIVER BASIN MODEL is a misnomer
because if one places an emphasis on "River" it leads one
to believe that the model is primarily concerned with
water management. The emphasis should be placed on "River
Basin", and that term should be interpreted in its broadest
context as meaning a geographical area of land. Through
its two major components human interaction and computer
simulation the model represents the economic, social
and governmental activity that takes place within the
geographical boundaries defined by the river basin or more
simply by a group of continguous counties.
The model is unlike most other simulation or human
interaction models. It was not designed to accomplish any
one specific purpose. Rather it was designed to let its
users represent the major economic, social, and govern-
mental decision-makers who cause a regional system to
function and change on a year-to-year basis. As part of
the functioning of this regional system, water is demanded
by industries and municipal water suppliers and pollution
is generated by manufacturing and commercial activities, by
people, and by farm activities.
The model is a computer-assisted decision-making
tool, in which a number of computer programs simulate major
processes that take place in the local system such as
migration, housing selection, employment, transportation,
shopping patterns,the allocation of leisure time, and water
quality determination. Users of the model provide inputs
to these programs on behalf of business activities in the
economic sector, groups of people or population units in
the social sector, and government departments in the
government sector.
Normally, the users of the model are assigned
decision-making responsibility for businesses, population
units, and government departments in a gaming format.
This means that users become members of teams that are
assigned control of:
1. Economic Assets: cash, land, manufacturing
plants, outside investments, commercial
activities, and/or residences.
2. Social Assets: population units that are
designated as high income, middle income,
and/or low income.
1.
-------
3. Government Assets: power of the budget, taxing
and assessing authority, service responsibility,
and planning and regulatory power.
The computer print-outs for a year provide a de-
tailed description of the regional area represented by the
model, and the users of the model evaluate this status as
individuals, as team members, and collectively to define
problems, establish objectives, develop strategies, imple-
ment plans, and react to feedback from the new computer
printout for the next year.
The initial starting position shows a particular
set of allocations of the locals system's resources and
their effects on the status of the local area. The users
of the model evaluate their own particular status within
the local system as well as the status of the area as a
whole. They then interact with one another in a dynamic
decision-making environment in which they collectively have
control over the local water quality decisions that will be
made, implemented, and reacted to. Some of the model play-
ers may have apparently only marginal interests in the local
water quality issues because they are pre-occupied with
running schools, building roads, earning incomes, producing
manufactured goods, building housing, and supplying local
goods and services. Others will have maybe more interest
as they attempt to be elected into public office, run the
planning department, collect taxes, recreate, and develop a
generally pleasant environment for their new residential
subdivisions. Still others might have a direct and pressing
interest in the local water quantity and quality as they
attempt to set and enforce water quality standards, supply
municipal water, use surface water in their production
process, and benefit from major water-based recreation areas.
In short, the entire local system is represented by
the model and its users, and water decisions are placed
within their realistic context of having different importance
to different individuals as a function of their occupation,
location, resources, and personal inclinations.
B. The Three Sectors
The model contains three basic decision-making sectors:
economic, social and public. (Figure 1) Every city or region
contains these three vital sectors whose interactions cause
the area to function and to either grow and prosper or stagnate
and decay. Decisions made by one group ultimately affect others

and one group often works against another group to
achieve its goals. For example, proposed commercial
developments by an economic group in a predominantly
residential area can be blocked by residents of that
area just as proposed changes by the government depart-
ments can be opposed by those participants in the economic
or social sector.
1. The Economic Sector
Economic decision-makers are those businessmen who
operate industrial, commercial, residential and farm es-
tablishments. Upon receiving output at the beginning of
the round economic decision-makers review their economic
status and make decisions for the present round. The
various economic activities in the model have the following
characteristics:
Basic Industry
Heavy Industry, Light Industry and National Services
spend money for business goods and business services, utilities,
a labor force, transportation, and taxes. In order to
produce basic industry output which is then sold to the
national -markets at prices determined by national business
conditions (the computer), owners of basic industries can
make a wide variety of decisions. These decisions include
purchasing land, changing salaries or maintenance levels,
boycotting business goods and business services establish-
ments, acquiring laons, building new businesses, upgrading
existing businesses, demolishing old ones, and treating
effluents that are dumped into the local water system.
The basic industry of the economy can be further sub-
divided into the following categories:
HI - Heavy Industry
FL - Furniture and lumber
SG - Stone, clay and glass
MP - Primary metals
MF - Fabricated metals
NL - Non-electrical machinery
EL - Electrical machinery
TE Transportation equipment
4.
-------
LI - Light Industry
FO - Food
TL - Textile, apparel and leather
PA - Paper
CR - Chemicals, plastics, and rubber
NS - National Services
Commercial Establishments
Business goods (BG) and business services (BS), per-
sonal goods (PG) and personal services (PS) spend money
on many of the same items as basic industry in order to
maintain a level of service capacity. This service capacity
is consumed or partially consumed by local customers which
include: the industrial sector, other commercial estab-
lishments and the population units (Pi's) who live in the
city. Owners of the commercial establishments may make
most of the decisions that owners of basic industries make
in addition to setting prices for their products.
Residences
Single-family (RA), townhouse (RB), and high-rise (RC)
residence units spend money on personal goods and personal
services, utilities, and taxes, and earn income based on
rent charged and the number and type of occupants residing
in their housing units. Owners of residences may make the
same types of decisions made by owners of basic industry
in addition to setting the rent paid by their tenants.
Farms
Farm owners make very few decisions aside from how
their land will be utilized and what level of fertilizer
use they will employ.
2. The Social Sector
Decision-makers in the social sector represent the
citizens who live and work in the simulated area. People
are represented in terms of population units (Pi's). Each
population unit represents fixed numbers of people (500).
Population units are divided into three socio-economic
groups: high income (PH), middle-income (PM) and low-
income (PL). Because each class possesses its own ex-
pectations and behavioral patterns, each will have different
preferences for residence, job, and schooling, etc. Social
decision-makers can vote on behalf of the Pi's which they
represent. Voting power is dependent upon the number of
-------
population units controlled, the number of registered voters
in each, and their socio-economic class. Social decision-
makers can also direct the population units under their con-
trol to boycott places of employment or shop locations.
Social decision-makers can also allocate leisure time of
their population units to be spent in any of four basic
activities: extra work, adult education (public or private),
politics, and recreation. The amount of time spent on each
of these activities has an effect on the socio-economic
status and/or the dissatisfaction index of people living
within the city.
A significant part of the model centers around how
Pi's function within the local system during the course
of each round of play which represents one year of time in
the local area. Figure 2 shows the actions of Pi's as they
are affected by the major operating programs.
3. The Public Sector
In the model, the government sector deals with the
problems of education, highways, municipal services,
planning, zoning, utilities, water supply and quality and
bus and rail transportation. The public sector is divided
into two basic components. The first component includes
elected officials: the Chairman and the Council. These
officials are elected by the social decision-makers repre-
senting the people who live in each jurisdiction. The
Chairman and Council set tax rates, approve budgets, grant
subsidies and appropriations, and make appointments.
Appointed officials named by the Chairman are heads of these
six governmental departments: Assessment (AS), Schools (SC),
Municipal Services (MS), Highway (HY), Planning and Zoning
(PZ), and Utilities (UT). The Bus and Rapid Rail Companies
are semi-private organizations which also may be appointed
by the Chairman. Players representing these departments
make decisions which include allocating capital and current
funds, changing salaries and maintenance levels, requesting
federal-state aid, changing district boundaries, con-
structing or demolishing public buildings, upgrading public
buildings, changing levels of service, and transferring
cash between accounts.

Poor water quality incareses dis-
satisfaction and high ccliform count
increases health costs and time lost
due to illness.
Housing that depreciates becomes less
attractive in the migration process.
Pi's are assigned to full and part
time jobs that maximise net income
(salary minus transportation costs),
employers, search for best educated
workers.
Pi's travel to work by the mode and
route that minimizes total costs
(dollar plus time), Pi's travel to
shopping along the minimum cost routes,
Students of Pi's are assigned to
public or private schools based upon
the quality of public schools.
Pi's are assigned to parks within a
specified distance of where they live.
Involuntary expenditures of leisure
time are calculated as a function of
the success of getting part time
jobs, public adult education and the
tione spent on transportation.
Pi's are assigned to stores at which
the total costs are minimized (price
plus transportation to the store).
7.
-------
C. The Water Component
The water component is a subsector that, in a sense,
cuts across the other three sectors or is a part of each.
For example, some of the industrial activities in the econo-
mic sector use surface water in their production process
and all other economic businesses have some need for munici-
pally supplied water. Population units in the social sector
use water as a function of their income class and the type
of housing they inhabit. In the government sector, the
Utility Department is responsible for supplying the municipal
water needs of the residents of its jurisdiction.
Each of the surface water users requires a specified
quality of water and must either treat the water they intake
or purchase water from a source outside of the local system.
Every water user adds some pollutants to the water it
returns to the water system. If left untreated, these water
discharges may lower the quality of water of the body of
water into which they are dumped. Since water users and
polluters are located in a geographical space, acitivities
upstream and downstream are affected differently by the
dynamically created water quality conditions.
D. The Local System
The particular regional configuration being used is
represented on a grid map consisting of 625 squares. Each
square is of equal size and represents 6.25 square miles,
2.5 miles on a side. The grid and all of the computer maps
are keyed to a coordinate system. Each parcel can be
identified by its coordinates. Horizontal coordinates
range from 70 to 118 and vertical coordinates from 12 to 60.
Intersections are identified by the odd-numbered coordinates
and highways are identified by even-odd (east-west) or odd-
even (north-south) coordinates. In all cases, the
horizontal coordinate (i.e., the larger number) is identi-
fied first.
For example, on the map in Figure 3 the shaded
parcel is identified as 7014. Further, the four mile
highway indicated by ZZZ is identified as 7217, 7417, 7617,
7817, while the two mile highway indicated by XXX is
identified as 7318, 7320. The intersection marked by 0
is located at 7317.

E. The Unit of Time A Round
In the model, a round represents a year of change in
the life of the simulated area. From the standpoint of the
participants, however, a round may be thought of as a
decision-making cycle which starts when they receive their
computer output and ends when they hand in their decision
input forms for processing by the computer.
During the early part of the typical round, decision-
makers will be simultaneously reviewing their computer out-
put and attempting to organize their possible actions.
Economic decision-makers, for example, will probably attempt
to acquire parcels of land that look good for future devel-
opment purposes. They may attempt to secure loans from
local or outside sources, apply for zoning changes, request
utility expansions, and lobby for increased highway access.
At the same time, social decision-makers might be bargaining
for higher wages, requesting improvements in local schools
and municipal services, lobby for higher water quality in
the local river, and trying to promote those politicians
who see things their way.
Meanwhile, the governmental decision-makers may be
receiving requests from the economic and social decision-
makers to lower taxes, improve schools, provide better
municipal services, expand highways, build additional
utilities, enlarge the park system, and improve other
services. Budget officials are faced with the task of
finding additional revenue to meet expanding public needs
and dividing appropriations among the many local depart-
ments, all of which have attempted to justify their ex-
panding budgets. Also the government office concerned
with water quality might be pressuring the polluting indus-
tries to treat their wastes or face regulatory action. All
water users might be concerned with water quality and quan-
tity in so far as it affects their cost of using water and
doing business.
10.
-------
Toward the middle of the round, it becomes clear to
many decision-makers that all of their requests will not
be granted. Thus, trade-offs and bargains must be made.
Elected officials will begin to worry about staying in
office. Departments must often plan to operate with less
funds than they had requested. Low income representatives
attempt to make their political power felt. High-income
representatives attempt to maintain their status. Business-
men begin to look for short-cuts to reduce their losses and
increase their activity and profit-making ventures. The
water quality office begins to act upon its earlier threat.
As the round approaches a conclusion, the participants
formalize the bargains they have made, continue to fill out
their decision forms, terminate the negotiations on new wage
levels, new prices and new rents, carry on their boycotts
and complete any other possible actions. All water related
decisions by the private and public decision-makers are
completed. Treatment plants are built, industries shut down,
fine levied, sampling stations constructed, etc.
When the round ends, participants campaign and carry
out new elections, hold town meetings, debrief their actions,
and develop new strategies while the computer performs
its functions and prepares new output on the status of the
simulated city.
F. The Function of the Computer
In the model, players are able to exercise a number of
decision alternatives. Only some of these will be com-
municated to the computer, the rest will be part of the con-
stant communication, bargaining and negotiating carried
out in the game-room itself.
The computer performs several major functions in the
model.
First, it stores all the relevant economic, social
and governmental statistics for the area; updates data
when changes are made; and prints out yearly reports on the
status of the local system and reports for the economic,
social, and government decision-makers.
Second, the computer simulates the actions of the out-
side system. For example, the computer simulates both a
national business cycle, the probabilities of federal-state
aid and interest rates on most loans.
11.
-------
Third, the computer performs certain routine functions
or processes that would be time-consuming if the players
themselves were to perform them. For example, the computer
assigns workers from population units to jobs under the
assumption that workers will attempt to earn as much money
as possible. Other processes include assessing all property,
assigning buyers of goods and services to shop at particular
commercial establishments, assigning children to public or
private schools based upon the capacity and quality of the
public schools, and assigning population units to residences
based on their desirability. The computer also simulates
the migration process which moves population units into,
out of, and within the local system. It also measures
all of the types of pollution at all points along the river
system and calculates a comprehensive water quality index.
12.

II. THE GOVERNMENT SECTOR
A. Introduction to the Sector
The GOVERNMENT SECTOR represents the management ap-
paratus for the public sector of the area represented by
the model. Participants in this Sector are the elected and
appointed public officials. The Government Sector can make
public policy, implement plans and programs, provide public
services and raise and disperse funds. The model is suf-
ficiently flexible that the Government Sector can be oper-
ated using strong central control or somewhat autonomous
departments as determined by the participants. There is a
separate government apparatus for each of the political
jurisdictions represented by the model. Thus, intergovern-
mental cooperation and competition may evolve during the
play.
B. Sector Functions
Figure GV1 shows the government structure that may exist
in each of the local systems. The Bus and Rail Departments
are systemwide functions, whereas the other departments oper-
ate on a jurisdiction basis. As noted, the Chairman (or
Mayor) and Council are elected in each of the jurisdictions,
and the department (staff) decision-makers are appointed
by the chairman. The optional public departments, Utilities,
Bus and Rail are usually part of the Government Sector, as
quasi public functions, but they can also be operated as
private (economic) sector activities either initially or as
a result of participant action (public sale). The codes used
to identify the government functions are shown in parentheses
after the function name in Figure GV--1.
Elected officials are accountable to the electorate
(the social sector). They are required to respond to
public hearings, propose and defend referenda on certain
issues, and stand for election. The manner in which elected
officials exercise power and conduct their administration
and public affairs, however, is at their discretion.
Appointed Department representatives are responsible
to the Chairman and Council. However, the presence or
absence of effective leadership and communication may in-
fluence this relationship and staff decisions. The Govern-
ment Sector decision-makers depend for their political life
on the votes of the social sector. Their relationship with
the business community is determined by their own view
of public office and public service.

C. Administrative (Non-Decision) Functions
Any number of additional administrative functions can
be created to approximate local structures or to examine
a variety of administrative mechanisms. While these op-
tional functions do not make direct input decisions to
the computer, they may be created to have as much advisory,
regulatory or "legal" influence as the participants (or
Director) determine. An ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CONTROL
Commission, for instance, could be established to act as
a regulatory agency in the area of water quality and as
such could influence current economic activities and future
development.
D. Government Decisions
The Government Sector decisions cover a wide spectrum
of municipal and public service activities. The types of
possible decisions are listed in Figure GV-2, with an
indication of the individual decision-makers with primary
interest or responsibility. Complete descriptions are in
each decision-maker's manual.
In the model, as in the real world, the government can
anticipate the emergence of pressing issues related to jobs,
housing, economic development, education, public transit,
and the environmental quality of their region.
This issue may, for example, occur in the form of
special zoning requests, substantial school budgets for
adult education, or adamant citizen demands for clean water,
increased recreation facilities or lower utility rates.
E Government Output
It rarely happens that the government has all the in-
formation it wants, or needs, to make perfect decisions.
Many decisions, under pressures of time, will be typical
"guesstimates" - intuitive actions. It is possible, how-
ever, for each activity to develop an effective information
system using the available resources in the model.
For the local system, the general output is usually
posted each round and is available to all decision-makers
for general information and analysis. The general output
makes available to each participant, in maps, detail and
summary form, extensive current and comparative informa-
tion about conditions, trends and characteristics of the
region. The range of information in the maps and the items
of General Output cannot be overemphasized. Experience

with the model has indicated that decisions are facilitated
if the participants use the General Output information as
part of their decision process.
The complete government sector output consists of the
information, maps and detail made available to each govern-
ment decision-making function of the government. Each
government function has available to it a comprehensive
portrayal of its status and the conditions which pertain
to its activities.
F. Government Budgetary Procedures
The same general financial accounting procedure is used
for all government departments/ including Utilities/ Bus
and Rail. Department budgets are divided into Capital and
Current accounts. Departments may transfer funds from one
account to another, but no automatic transfers will take
place. Appropriations, subsidies, and cash transfers to
departments must be directed to either the capital or
current account.
The Chairman's account has only a current account, the
Planning and Zoning Department has only a capital account,
and the Assessment Department has no financial accounts.
All other departments have both accounts.
The Chairman makes appropriations, and subsidies from
his current account before he actually receives income to
his account. His is the only department which makes
expenditures before income is calculated. Once a depart-
ment has received an appropriation, the money is never
automatically transferred back to the Chairman's account.
If the Chairman spends more than he later receives in
revenue, .a current bond is automatically floated in the
Chairman's name and is paid off from the Chairman's
account. If a department spends more than its revenues
(this can only happen in a department's current account),
a current bond is floated in the department's name and is
paid off from the department's account.
The following format is contained within each account:
Previous Cash Balance
Revenues
Expenditures
New Cash Balance.
18
-------
If the output is for round T, then Previous Cash
Balance would be equal to the New Cash Balance for round
T-l.
Expenditures may not be made from capital accounts
unless there is sufficient cash to cover the expenditure.
Therefore, the cash balance in a capital account is
always greater than or equal to zero; the cash balance in
the capital account may not be negative.
If expenditures from the current account are greater
than previous balance plus revenues, then a short term
bond (current or two-year) is automatically floated to
cover the deficit. Therefore, the New Cash Balance may
never be negative in the current account. Because of
rounding, the New Cash Balance will normally be slightly
positive (rather than zero) even in the case where a short-
term bond had to be floated.
All capital expenditures are player or director
decisions which have been submitted during the previous
EDIT. Current expenditures are made according to govern-
ment policies which may have been established in any previous
EDIT. Current expenditures (except miscellaneous expendi-
tures) do not directly reflect player decisions; they are
functions of policies. For example, a player sets the
salaries and number of job openings which the School Depart-
ment offers, but other local conditions influence how many
employees the department actually hires and thus influence
the amount which the department pays in salaries.
The most common capital revenue sources for departments
are appropriations (for MS, SC, HY, and PZ), capital bonding
for 25 years (all departments), Federal-State Aid (SC, HY)
and miscellaneous sources (sale of land, and incoming cash
transfers). Special capital revenue sources are subsidies
to the Utility Department.
The most common capital expenditures are for con-
struction, land purchase, and miscellaneous (outgoing cash
transfers).
The most common current revenue sources are appropria-
tions (all but UT and CH), short term bonding, Federal-
State Aid (MS and SC), and miscellaneous income (incoming
cash transfers).
Special current revenue sources exist for the Utility
Department (income from user charges on utility and water
service and subsidies) and the Chairman (taxes).

III. CHAIRMAN
A. Introduct ion
This manual contains the basic information an,"1, des-
cription of the model required by the Chairman team. It
is assumed that the Model Overview, the Scenario, and
the Government Sector descriptions have been read prior to
the receipt of this manual.
Once the players comprising the Chairman team have
become familiar with the model in general, the particular
city being represented, and the workings of the local
government and fiscal system they will be able to bring
their own imagination and initiative to bear.on the opera-
tion of the Chairman's role in their specific jurisdiction.
The local jurisdictional chief executive is given the
opportunity and responsibility for making major budget and
public policy decisions for his jurisdiction. The Chairman
team will have the chance to use this job in such a way as
to satisfy self-established goals and/or to respond to
pressures brought on it by department heads, the local
citizenry and the business community.

B. Chairman Summary
Each political jurisdiction, has a chief executive
called the Chairman. Depending upon the local situation,
these political jurisdictions may or may not have a council
that provides checks and balances on the Chairman.
The Chairman's office is an elected office, and perio-
dic elections are held in which the members of the Social
Sector vote for nominated candidates. The voting power of
each social team is dependent upon the number and type of
population units under their control and upon the registered
voters patterns that have developed as the result of time-
allocation in political activity.
The Chairman makes departmental appointments to the
local government departments. (See Figure CH-1). He also
sets budget policy (expenditure and revenue) decisions.
Expenditures may take the form of capital or current appro-
priations, subsidies, cash transfers, and/or welfare payments.
Revenue sources over which the Chairman exercises a major
influence are local taxes by type and capital bonds. The
local government may also receive Federal-State aid, but
this is channeled directly through the appropriate depart-
ments (SC, MS, or HY).
The Chairman is able to exert loose or tight form of
control over his departments. He may make replacements in
department leadership when he feels that he is not getting
the support or quality performance he expects.

IV. COMPUTER PRINTED OUTPUT DESCRIPTION
A. Introduction
The printed computer output provides a yearly
report of the status of the simulated region and of inter-
actions within the region during the previous year. There
are several types of output: maps showing characteristics
of the region which differ geographically; summaries which
present information in capsulated form; and detailed
information from which the summaries are derived.
The figure on the next page shows the titles
of the output sections in the order in which they are
printed. That sequence follows neither the logical order
of computer program operations nor the usual sequence in
which a user examines the output. The code number beside
the title of each section of output listed in this figure
is the code number used in all examples of output included
in this manual. The output is explained in this section
in order of most general to most detailed information.
Output is explained in the following order:
- maps
- summary information
- general information of relevance to
all three sectors
- social sector detail
- economic sector detail
- government sector detail
There are a few standard features of all printed
output sections. Each has a title which is a short
description of the type of information given by the section
of output. Each also contains both the round number and
the game heading (the name of the data base being used or
some other heading input by the director). Where relevant,
a jurisdiction number is also printed.
After a few rounds' experience with the model, a
model user usually needs only the printed computer output
from a round and the Master Tables and input formats con-
tained in this manual in order to play subsequent rounds.

B . Map Output
The model output includes several maps which visually
represent characteristics of the simulated region which
differ by location. The entire simulated region is repre-
sented on a single, two-page computer map. A map key is
printed at the bottom of each page. Map symbols appear _ on
a map in the three types of locations which can be specified
in the model: parcels (squares), parcel edges (lines sep-
arating squares) , and intersections of lines (parcel corners)
Land uses and other characteristics of parcels are repre-
sented within the squares. Divisions between parcels such
as roads or jurisdiction boundaries are represented be-
tween parcels, and activities such as terminals are repre-
sented at parcel corners.

1. Economic Status Map
This map shows the economic sector owners of all privately-
owned non-farm parcels and the economic activity, if any, on
each parcel. A parcel can have only one economic owner and
one economic activity. Owners of farm parcels are shown on
the Farm Map. The types of economic activities represented
in the model are listed in the Master Tables.
The economic owner of a parcel owns all of the land
and developments on the parcel which do not belong to the
government or which are not topographically undevelopable.
If the economic owner sells land to another economic de-
cision-maker, he must sell all of the privately-owned
land and buildings on the parcel to the new owner. An
economic decision-maker can sell any portion of undeveloped
land on a parcel to a government department.
The Planning and Zoning Department may zone parcels.
Zoning is a restriction on economic development. Once a
parcel is assigned a particular zoning code, all new economic
development on the parcel must conform to the new zoning.
If a parcel is unzoned, there is no restriction on what
type of activity may be constructed on it. The Economic
Status Map key defines what private land uses are allowed
under each zoning code.
When a new economic development is constructed on a
parcel, it must not only conform to the parcel's zoning;
it must have sufficient utility service. Utilities are
installed by the Utility Department in "levels" (1 - 9).
Each level of economic activity requires a certain number
of utility units, and each level of utility service supplies
a fixed number of utility units to a parcel.
If an economic decision-maker has insufficient utility
service for a proposed development, the Utility Department
must install adequate utility service before the new devel-
opment can be constructed.*
*There are two exceptions to the utility restriction
on development: 1) RA housing can be built with "private
utilities", which do not require utilities supplied by the
Utility Department; 2) the director can override the utility
restriction on individual developments.

Economic developments also require land. Each activity,
depending on its type, requires a certain amount of land
for each constructed level of development. Regardless of
the operating level of an activity, the land consumed is
that of the constructed level, which is always greater than
or equal to the operating level. The amount of privately-
owned land which is not in developments is classified on
this map as undeveloped. If a parcel shows no undeveloped
land, no further economic development can occur there un-
less the owner either acquires more land from a government
department owning a portion of the parcel or demolishes
existing economic developments. An economic decision-
maker can acquire land by purchasing a parcel from another
economic decision-maker or by bidding on land which is
owned by the Outside.
The operating level of an economic activity is shown
on the Economic Status Map. For most purposes, a busi-
ness1 operating level is the only level considered by the
computer programs. However, a business pays property
taxes and maintenance for its constructed level.

2. Government Status Map
Whereas there can be only one economic owner per parcel,
any combination of government departments can own developed
and undeveloped land on a parcel. The government depart-
ments which can own land, and the types of developments each
can construct on a parcel are:
Department Development Type
Utility Department Utility Plant
Water Intake Treatment Plant
Sewage Outflow Treatment Plant:
Chlorination
Primary Treatment
Secondary Treatment
Tertiary Treatment
School Department School Unit
Municipal Service Municipal Service Unit
Department
Planning and Zoning Parkland
Department Public Institutional Land
Highway Department Road*
Terminal*
A government department can sell undeveloped land
which it owns to either another government department or
to the economic decision-maker owning the privately-owned
portion of a parcel.
The government status map shows the locations of some
of the types of government activities: schools, parks,
utility plants, and municipal service units.
*A road requires land from the parcels on each side,
and a terminal requires land from the four parcels touching
the intersection at which it is located.

3. Socio-Economic Distribution Map
This map shows the number of Pi's of each class living
on each residence parcel. The residence type and level are
also printed.
The migration process allocates people to housing.
Only two classes can live on a residence parcel simul-
taneously, due in part to the model's restriction that a
PH will not move into a residence with a quality index
below 71 and a PL will not move into housing with a quality
index above 70. It is possible, if a residence depreciates
below the minimum that a class will accept, that high-
income, for example, will live in a residence with a quality
index below 71 if the class was living on the parcel before
the depreciation. In no case, however, can PH's reside on
the same parcel with PL's.
Each level of a residence type provides a fixed num-
ber of space units. A PI occupies a fixed number of
space units, depending on its class. The percent occu-
pancy of each residence is shown on the Demographic Map.

4. Demographic Map
The demographic map shows the number of people living
on each residence parcel, the percent occupancy of each
residence and the quality of all privately owned buildings
and equipment.
Overcrowding (over 100% occupancy) contributes to a
residence's neighborhood index and to the health index.
The quality is expressed as the quality index for a
residence and as the value ratio for non-residential ac-
tivities. A value ratio is the ratio of the present con-
dition of a business' buildings and equipment to their
original condition, expressed as a percent.
A quality index is somewhat different. Whereas a
new business has a value ratio of 100, a new residence
can have a quality index from 40 to 100.
Each year buildings and equipment depreciate in re-
sponse to several conditions which vary by type of activity
(see the Master Tables for the causes of depreciation).
A business's depreciation is measured as a percent of
original value (100). A residence's depreciation is
measured as a percent of the original value of such a type
of residence originally built at a quality index of 100,
regardless of the original quality of the specific resi-
dence. Thus, business depreciation is a percent of original
value but residential depreciation is a percent of quality
index 100.
The owner of an activity can set a maintenance level
for the activity. The maintenance level is the quality
index or value ratio at which the owner will maintain
the activity, regardless of how much it depreciates in a
year. Not until the activity's value ratio or quality
index falls to its maintenance level does the owner incur
maintenance expenditures. The computer program depreciates
and maintains buildings and equipment and charges the
owner for the maintenance cost.
The Demographic Map shows quality indexes and value
ratios after depreciation and after any maintenance.

5. Topographical Restriction Map
This map shows the percent of a parcel that may not be
purchased or developed by any local decision-makers. Land
that is topographically undevelopable includes mountains,
rock outcrops, swamps. None of the area consumed by water
bodies represented in the local system (large lakes, small
lakes, and rivers) is shown on this map. The map also
shows jurisdictional boundaries, the road network, and the
location of terminals.

6. Social Decision Maker Map
This map indicates which social players make decisions
for the low, middle, and high income population units on
parcels. The top letter on a given parcel represents the
social decision-maker who controls the PL's who live there,
and the middle and lower letters represent the social decision-
makers who control the PM's and PH' s, respectively, who live'
there. If a particular class does not live on a parcel,
no letter is printed.
Not until a parcel is developed for residential land
use and occupied by at least one income class, will a social
decision-maker for that parcel appear on the map. Note that
different decision-makers may control the different popu-
lation classes on a single parcel. Social teams acquire
control over additional Pi's on a parcel when the number of
Pi's of that class moving into the parcel exceeds the number
moving out. Social teams may find that from round to round
they gain or lose control of population units on a residential
parcel of land. This occurs as a result of the migration of
Pi's of a class to a parcel where previously there were no
Pi's of that class (a gain) or as a result of the migration
away from a parcel of all the Pi's of a class on that parcel.

C. Summary Information
1. Demographi^: and Economic Statistics
The output summarizes a wide variety of information
about the simulated region. There are two basic types
of information: statistics by jurisdiction and for the
region as a whole about local conditions, and measures of
interactions between the region and the Outside System.
The former provide comparisons between jurisdictions; the
latter provide comparisons between the local and Outside
systems.
Statistics Regarding Local Conditions
Total population: the number of people (not Pi's),
by class.
Percent change over previous year: the total popu-
lation change, positive or negative, between the current
round and the previous round. This is the only local
statistic which is given only as a total and not broken
down by jurisdiction.
Average population per parcel: the number of people
divided by the number of parcels.
Developed land (in parcels): the amount of land
area (in parcel equivalents) consumed by public and
private developments.
Undeveloped land: the amount of land area (in parcel
equivalents) not consumed by developments.
Total land area: the number of parcels.
Assessed value of land in millions: the property tax
base.
Assessed value of developments in millions: the
development tax base.
Average quality of life index: a measure across
classes of the people's average quality of life index.
The higher the index, the poorer the quality of life.
The indexes may differ significantly within a jurisdiction,
but only averages are given here.
Number of registered voters: the number of people
eligible to vote, from which the number who, actually vote
are selected.

Number in public adult education: the number of
people who wanted to participate in public adult education
programs and were able to do so because programs were
provided by their school departments.
Average educational level: by class, the average
educational level. This ranges from 0 to 100. The higher
a worker's educational level relative to those of other
workers, the greater his chances of being hired before the
others.
Number of workers receiving welfare: if a jurisdic-
tion does have a program for aid to the unemployed, this
number is the number of unemployed workers. The number is
zero if there are either no unemployed workers or no
welfare program.
Student/teacher ratio: ratio of number of students
attending local public schools to number of teachers
employed by public schools. This is a factor when students
are allocated to public or private schools.
School enrollment: the number of students attending
local public schools and the number attending private
schools. Students attend private schools only if the
public schools in their districts are inadequate.
Housing units: the number of levels of RA (single
family), RB (town house, multiple dwellings), and RC
(high rise) housing.
Vacancy rate: the ratio of existing housing space
to housing space occupied, expressed as a percent. A
negative rate means that housing is overcrowded.
Number of employed workers: the number of people
holding full-time jobs, by class of worker.
Number employed by type of employer: the number of
full-time workers employed by each type of business and
government employer.
Number of unemployed workers: by class, the number
of workers seeking full-time employment who were unable
to obtain jobs.
Unemployment rate (percent) : by class., the number of
unemployed workers as a percent of the total number of
workers who sought full-time jobs.
46
-------
Earning distribution: the percent of workers
earning less than $5,000, between $5,000 and $10,000, and
over $10,000 from full-time employment.
Transactions With the National Economy
Income from the national economy: federal-state aid
received, by type of aid, and income from both basic
industry sales of output and bus and rail sales of equip-
ment.
Sales to the national economy: federal-state taxes
paid, by type of tax, and purchases of goods, services,
and outside-owned land. The only Outside expenditure
which can be significantly controlled locally is the
purchase of goods and services due to local insufficiency.
National economy business cycle: last round's ratio
to "typical income"per unit of output for basic industry,
interest rates on loans and bonds from the Outside
(expressed as percents), and the average rate of return on
outside investments (expressed as percents).

D. Chairman Output
The Chairman Output consists of three sections which
summarize the revenues and expenditures of all departments
and of the jurisdiction's government as a whole.
1- Chairman Department Finances
The first line of this output shows the welfare
payment rate, which is set by the Chairman. The rest of
the output summarizes the revenues and expenditures of
each department in the Chairman's jurisdiction: Municipal
Services, Schools, Highways, Planning and Zoning, Utilities,
and Chairman. Bus and Rail are interjurisdictional and
their finances do not appear on the Chairman's report.
The Chairman can grant appropriations to Municipal
Services, Schools, Highways and Planning and Zoning. He
can grant subsidies to Utilities, Bus and Rail, and he can
transfer cash to any account.
Further detail on departments' accounts is included
in the descriptions of their output.
2. Tax Summary
This output shows the revenue which the Chairman
account receives from each type of local tax formally
included in the model. Taxes constitute a major source
of revenue for the operation of local government. There
are four types of local taxes in the model: property,
income, automobile, and sales. The Chairman specifies the
rate at which these taxes are to be levied and the computer
automatically collects the tax revenue. If the Chairman
does not set tax rates for a given round, the computer
collects taxes at the previous rate.
There are two types of property taxes: land and
developments. Land tax is applied to all privately owned
land. The tax paid is determined by multiplying the
percent of a parcel privately owned times the assessed
value of the parcel (set by the Assessment Department)
times the land tax rate. Development tax is applied to
economic land uses. The tax payment is determined by
multiplying the assessed value of a development times the
development tax rate.

A political jurisdiction may tax the personal income
of either the people who live there or the people who work
there. A resident income tax is paid by a population unit
and is determined by multiplying the resident income tax
rate times gross wages of people who live in a jurisdiction.
Employee income tax is determined by multiplying the
employee income tax rate times gross income of the people
who work in the jurisdiction.
Automobile taxes can also be levied by a particular
jurisdiction on the people who live there and the people
who work there. Automobile resident tax is determined by
multiplying the automobile resident tax rate times the
travel cost to work by automobile of the people who live
in the jurisdiction. Automobile employee tax is deter-
mined by multiplying the automobile employee tax rate
times the travel cost to work of the people who work in
the jurisdiction.
Sales taxes are levied on all purchasers of personal
goods and personal services. There are separate tax rates
for goods and services. The tax is determined by multi-
plying the sales tax rate on goods/services in the
jurisdiction in which the seller is located times the
amount of purchase of goods/service at each seller.
3. Financial Summary
This output summarizes the cash flow which is itemized
on the Chairman Department Finances output.

V. Types of Decisions Available to the Chairman
A. Summary of Decisions
The Chairman is responsible for the coordination and
direction of the expenditure of the various departments
under his jurisdiction. The only control over these funds
once he appropriates them to the departments is the control
he establishes in the gameroom. In addition to department
appropriations, the Chairman is able to appropriate funds
to the economic, social and government sectors in the form
of subsidies and to unemployed population units in the
social sector in the form of unemployment compensation.
The Chairman is also responsible for establishing
policy with regard to revenue sources; that is, acquiring
funds for his jurisdiction. He has two general sources
available; taxes and bonding.
The expenditure and revenue decisions available to the
Chairman from each jurisdiction are as follows:
Appropriation and Expenditure Decisions
1. Current Appropriations
2. Capital Appropriations
3. Grant Subsidies
4. Cash Transfer
5. Welfare Payment Level
Revenue Decisions
1. Land Tax
2. Developments Tax
3. Income Tax
4. Auto Tax
5. Sales Tax
6. Float Capital Bonds
The following chart shows the eligibility of different
types of recipients for appropriations, subsidies, and cash
transfers from the Chairman.

-------
Any appropriations not spent by the departments
remain in their accounts and do not revert back to the Chair-
man's account. All of the Chairman's appropriations to the
Government Departments remain at the last levels input to
the computer. Therefore, if the Chairman made an input of
$10 m to the current account of the School Department in
round t, then the School Department would receive the same
amount in round t+1 unless the Chairman stated otherwise.
Likewise tax rates and unemployment payments continue at
their old levels until changed.
Subsidies, cash transfers, and capital bonds, on the
other hand, are one-round decisions. They do not automatically
continue from one round to the next.
B. Input Format
Local system decision-makers (such as the Chairman)
use a standardized input form (Figure CH3.2) when making
decisions that must be processed by the computer.
The standard format for these decisions is:
$CODE/ =dm/a, bf c, ...
1 $CODE stands for the type of decision code. The
Chairman has the option to make decisions that use the follow-
ing decision codes:
$CASH (appropriations, subsidies, cash transfers)
$OTHER (welfare payment, capital bonds)
$TAXES (tax rates)
2 "=dm" is the decision maker, which for the Chairman is
CHI CH2, or CHS depending upon the appropriate jurisdiction
number. A jurisdiction number must always follow the MS _
decision-maker code, even if there is only one active juris-
diction.
3 The columns "a", "b", and so forth are filled in
with the appropriate information depending upon the parti-
cular decision.
Remember that CH, AS, SC, MS, PZ, HY, and UT must
always be followed by a jurisdiction number. On the other
hand, BUS and RAIL never have a jurisdiction number after
them.
53
-------
Figure Ch 3.2
Note: When filling out this form, refer to
input description form in the manual.
Please write clearly; distinguish
between 1 (one) and "I" (eye), "0"
(oh) and "0" (zero); be sure to fill
in numbers exactly as required;
omitting commas within numbers (100000)

APPENDIX A
Sequence of Computer Print-Out
Although sections of the computer output can be dis-
tributed in any order and in any combination to players,
it is printed in a fixed order with which the director
should become familiar. The overall order of output is:
1. Migration
2. Water System
3. Employment
4. Commercial Allocation
5. Social Sector
6. Economic Sector
7. Social and Economic Summaries
8. Government Detail
9. Summary Statistics
10. Maps
Within each of these major output sections there are
several subsections. An additional section of print-out
results from the processing of decisions on a data base.
That print-out, called EDIT, has no fixed sequence within
it; the order of decision input is the order in which EDIT
processes and lists player and director decisions. The
EDIT print-out is separate from the print-outs listed
above. These print-outs reflect the simulated region's
status in response to the previous year's data base and
any changes made to it through EDIT.
Each subsection of output has its own title, but on
every subsection the heading for the data base and the round
number are printed. A list of the titles of print-out
sections in the order in which they are printed and a des-
cription of each are given below and are summarized in
Figure 4.

and class without regard to jurisdiction. The rest of the
social detail prints in order of jurisdiction number, within
that in alphabetical order, and within that in order of class
(low first, high last). Output for any classes which a team
does not control in a jurisdiction is not printed. Likewise,
a class having no boycotts receives no boycott output.
**The economic output prints by team in alphabetical order.
All of a single team's output is printed before the next team s
output begins. A team for which a section of output is ir-
relevant does not receive that section of output. For example,
a team with no residences receives no residence output. Like-
wise, a team which has no loans outstanding as either a debtor
or a creditor does not receive a loan summary. All active
teams receive financial summaries.
