A System Dynamics Simulation Study on the Health Industry in Beijing
This article takes the development of Beijing's health industry as the research object.Firstly,based on the three subsystems that affect the development of health industry,namely demand,supply,and related industries,the cause-and-effect diagrams of the subsys-tems,and the cause-and-effect diagram of health industry system are drawn.Then,based on relevant data in Beijing,the mathematical relationships between variables are determined,36 system equations are constructed.A stock-and-flow chart is generated based on the equa-tion relationships,and a system dynamics model for Beijing's health industry is constructed.Furthermore,relevant tests are conducted on the model,and simulation schemes are set for different scenarios.Simulation results show that six factors,including policy guidance on res-idents'health consumption,input in health industry research,input in health industry talent,input in health industry funds,development of health service,and development of information industry,all have varying degrees of promoting effects on Beijing's health industry.Finally,based on the simulation results,relevant suggestions and countermeasures are proposed for the development of the health industry in Beijing.
