移民的网络模型:飞地形成与文化融合
A network model of immigration: Enclave formation vs. cultural integration
摘要:
成功地将新移民融入当地社区已成为决策者的一个关键问题,因为越来越多的移民给接受国带来了文化多样性、新技能,有时还带来了社会紧张局势。我们开发了一个基于代理的网络模型来研究相互作用的“主机”和“客人”,并确定合作/集成或不合作/隔离的社会出现的条件。假设玩家通过改变网络链接的博弈论规则来寻求社会经济繁荣,并通过观点动力学来寻求文化接受。我们发现,在给定的初始条件下,整合的主要预测因素是与文化调整相对于社会联系重塑的时间尺度,为客人和主机。快速的文化调整导致合作和建立长期持续的主客联系。相反,快速的社会联系重塑导致孤立飞地的不可逆转的形成,因为移民和本地人通过群体内的联系优化他们的社会经济收益。我们讨论了移民人口规模和增加社会经济回报的主客互动,通过政府的激励措施或通过接纳移民与高度可取的技能,可能会影响整体移民的经验。
英文摘要:
Successfully integrating newcomers into native communities has become a key issue for policy makers, as the growing number of migrants has brought cultural diversity, new skills, and at times, societal tensions to receiving countries. We develop an agent-based network model to study interacting "hosts" and "guests" and identify the conditions under which cooperative/integrated or uncooperative/segregated societies arise. Players are assumed to seek socioeconomic prosperity through game theoretic rules that shift network links, and cultural acceptance through opinion dynamics. We find that the main predictor of integration under given initial conditions is the timescale associated with cultural adjustment relative to social link remodeling, for both guests and hosts. Fast cultural adjustment results in cooperation and the establishment of host-guest connections that are sustained over long times. Conversely, fast social link remodeling leads to the irreversible formation of isolated enclaves, as migrants and natives optimize their socioeconomic gains through in-group connections. We discuss how migrant population sizes and increasing socioeconomic rewards for host-guest interactions, through governmental incentives or by admitting migrants with highly desirable skills, may affect the overall immigrant experience.
