Purpose. This article summarizes the nine contributions to the symposium on system
dynamics. The goal of the symposium is to investigate how research in system dynamics is …

It is a truism, but unfortunately not true: policy-relevant climate information should be
communicated such that non-scientists can understand. Through their assessment reports …

Stocks and flows are the foundations of dynamic systems. Understanding these mechanisms
is essential in the lives of individuals. However, individuals often lack a good understanding …

Purpose. This article critically discusses the contributions in this symposium and the
progress in the fields of system dynamics and interactive learning environments. Two …

Stocks and flows are the foundations of dynamic systems. Most people have difficulties
inferring the behavior of a stock from its flows. Recent studies have argued that …

Research shows that people's wait-and-see preferences for actions against climate change
are a result of several factors, including cognitive misconceptions. The use of simulation …

It has been demonstrated that most people have a limited understanding of atmospheric CO
2 accumulation. Labeled stock-flow (SF) failure, this phenomenon has even been suggested …

In view of the demographic shift towards an aging society, it is currently assumed that 29% of
eligible voters in Germany will be above the age of 65 by 2030 [6]. At the same time, climate …

Background. Simulation-based learning environments are used extensively to support
learning in complex business systems. Nevertheless, studies have identified problems and …

Dynamism is an important characteristic of many systems, including those of an economic
nature. These systems include stocks (ie, accumulations) and flows (ie, inflows and outflows) …
