What is Dynamic Modeling

Chapter 20
Handbook of Research on Global Diffusion of Broadband Data Transmission
An approach to modeling of a problem that includes concept of change in the problem over time. There are many different methods available and the principles they based on varies. Their suitability to model a particular problem may be determined by the match between the features they support and the features of the problem.

Abstract
The widespread domestic use of broadband Internet technology has been recognized to have a positive influence on national economies and improve the life of citizens. Despite substantial investment to develop the infrastructure, many countries have experienced slow adoption rates for broadband. This chapter develops a view of UK broadband adoption using dynamic modeling techniques based on an existing statistical study. The contrasting approaches to modeling are compared. Principles of a dynamic modeling system are introduced and an appropriate form for broadband adoption chosen. The process of building a dynamic model based on an existing static model of broadband adoption is presented. Finally, the new perspective of the dynamic model is explored using the causal loop analysis technique.
