  19. Cycles in Nature Canadian Lynx and Snowshoe Hare, data from the Hudson Bay Company, nearly a century of annual data, 1845-1935 The Lotka-Volterra Model (Sarah Jenson and Stacy Randolph, Berkeley ppt., Slides 4-9) 20 20

  20. 21 21

  21. What Causes These Cycles in Nature? • At least two kinds of cycles • Harmonics or sin and cosine waves • Deterministic but chaotic cycles 22 22

  22. Part Three: Thinking About Long Waves In Economics • Kondratieff Wave 23 23 23

  23. Nikolai Kondratieff (1892-1938) Brought to attention in Joseph Schumpeter’s Business Cycles (1939) 24 24 24

  28. Theodore Modis Figure 4. The data points represent the percentage deviation of energy consumption in the US from the natural growth-trend indicated by a fitted S-curve. The gray band is an 8% interval around a sine wave with period 56 years. The black dots and black triangles show what happened after the graph was first put together in 1988.[7] Presently we are entering a “spring” season. WWI occurred in late “summer” whereas WWII in late “winter”. 29 29 29

  29. Part Four: More About Ecological Cycles 30 30

  30. Well Documented Cycles 31 31

  31. Similar Data from North Canada 32 32

  32. Weather: “The Butterfly Effect” 33 33

  33. The Predator-Prey Relationship • Predator-prey relationships have always occupied a special place in ecology • Ideal topic for systems dynamics • Examine interaction between deer and predators on Kaibab Plateau • Learn about possible behavior of predator and prey populations if predators had not been removed in the early 1900s 34

  34. NetLogo Predator-Prey Model 35

  35. Schematic of the Criminal Justice System: Simultaneity Causes ? Weak Link Offense Rate Per Capita Crime Generation Expected Cost of Punishment OF = f(CR, SV, CY, SE, MC) (detention, Deterrence, Rehabilitation, And revenge) Expenditures Crime Control 36 CR = g(OF, L)

  36. Get Expect 37 Source: Report to the Nation on Crime and Justice

  37. Questions? How to Model? 38

  38. Part Five: The Lotka-Volterra Model • Built on economic concepts • Exponential population growth • Exponential decay • Adds in the interaction effect • We can estimate the model parameters using regression • We can use simulation to study cyclical behavior 39

  39. Lotka-Volterra Model Vito Volterra (1860-1940) famous Italian mathematician Retired from pure mathematics in 1920 Son-in-law: D’Ancona Alfred J. Lotka (1880-1949) American mathematical biologist primary example: plant population/herbivorous animal dependent on that plant for food 40

  40. Predator-Prey 1926: Vito Volterra, model of prey fish and predator fish in the Adriatic during WWI 1925: Alfred Lotka, model of chemical Rx. Where chemical concentrations oscillate 41 41 41 41

  41. Applications of Predator-Prey 42 42 42 42 Resource-consumer Plant-herbivore Parasite-host Tumor cells or virus-immune system Susceptible-infectious interactions

  42. Non-Linear Differential Equations 43 43 43 43 dx/dt = x(α – βy), where x is the # of some prey (Hare) dy/dt = -y(γ – δx), where y is the # of some predator (Lynx) α, β, γ, and δ are parameters describing the interaction of the two species d/dt ln x = (dx/dt)/x =(α – βy), without predator, y, exponential growth at rate α d/dt ln y = (dy/dt)/y = - (γ – δx), without prey, x, exponential decay like an isotope at rate 

  43. Population Growth: P(t) = P(0)eat 44

  44. lnP(t) = lnP(1960) + at 45

  45. CA Population: exponential rate of growth, 1995-2007 is 1.4% 46

  46. Prey (Hare Equation) • Hare(t) = Hare(t=0) ea*t , where a is the exponential growth rate • Ln Hare(t) = ln Hare(t=0) + a*t, where a is slope of ln Hare(t) vs. t • ∆ ln hare(t) = a, where a is the fractional rate of growth of hares • So ∆ ln hare(t) = ∆ hare(t)/hare(t-1)=[hare(t) – hare(t-1)]/hare(t-1) • Add in interaction effect of predators; ∆ ln Hare(t) = a – b*Lynx • So the lynx eating the hares keep the hares from growing so fast • To estimate parameters a and b, regress ∆ hare(t)/hare(t-1) against Lynx 47

  47. Hudson Bay Co. Data: Snowshoe Hare & Canadian Lynx, 1845-1935 48

  48. [Hare(1865)-Hare(1863)]/Hare(1864)Vs. Lynx (1864) etc. 1863-1934 • ∆ hare(t)/hare(t-1) = 0.77 – 0.025 Lynx • a = 0.77, b = 0.025 (a = 0.63, b = 0.022) 49

  49. [Lynx(1847)-Lynx(1845)]/Hare(1846)Vs. Lynx (1846) etc. 1846-1906 ∆ Lynx(t)/Lynx(t-1) = -0.24 + 0.005 Hare c = 0.24, d= 0.005 ( c = 0.27,d = 0.006) 50
