(NEEDS WORK)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Week of May 16th:
Worked with Jake on implementing elbow function for calculating output given productive capacity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Week of May 9th:
Changed the naming conventions, we are using productive capacity to measure the quality of land being operated on.
I worked on the documentation in this document.

Specifically, I fixed the look of the harvest-based degradation function and remade the endogenous renewal function. Following this, I implemented the endogenous renewal function in NetLogo. Jake is working on the output as a function of productive capacity and labor function. Once that is implemented I can implement everything in NetLogo and we will have a fully functional model with productive capacity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Week of 5/2 work:
Look into the dividends model for assessing the value of a firm.
Look into whether we should be using revenue or profit for assessing the value of a firm.
Relate profitability (net or margin) to total value of firm.
Current profitability in last period (maybe use exponential discount for previous periods)`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Week of 4/24 work:
Econ research for the Pringle Index
Specifically read, Bernstein estimating value of a stock and come up with a means of valuing total equity value in our model
Refactor labor-and-output function
More documentation for land procedures.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Week of 4/17 Work:
Changed naming schema in the new file and touched up Earth Reserve Index .nls file
Merged with Unit tests so that all work is consolidated into a single file
Updated Land from patches to turtles (reasoning behind this is so that we can create links between firms and land. NetLogo does not support turtle-patch links.
Updated visualization from previous version, might need more tweaking if we don't like the color scheme, but at this point this is low priority.
