Evaluating Los Angeles Homelessness Policy Using System Dynamics Modeling
… homelessness using scenario analysis, employing system dynamic (SD) modeling. This study primarily focuses on the evaluation of the Housing First approach and the identification of more effective responses to homelessness. I use a linear regression model to identify key prevention policy levers, …

Managing Complex Water Resource Systems for Ecological Integrity: Evaluating Tradeoffs and Uncertainty
Water resource systems often contain numerous components that are intertwined or contradictory, such as power production, water delivery, recreation, and environmental needs. This complexity makes it difficult to holistically assess management alternatives. In addition, hydroclimatic and ecological …
