That square root formula is a good approach, and is simpler to calculate, so I think I'll use that approach instead!<br /><br />Yes, I was thinking of the money required to overdrive production, what I didn't realize is that it levels out at double the production if used in this manner.

Speaking of diminishing returns...Interesting post.<br /><br />Speaking of diminishing returns, your model is more an asymptotic than just a diminishing. Geometric series having ratio between two successive terms from <-1, 1> interval do converge. In your model infinite population overdriving a single region would double the normal production capacity.<br /><br />Master of Orion 3 DEAs have different model, square root of overdrive factor. Let k be the ratio between assigned population and region's normal workforce capacity. If k is higher than 1 (region is being overdriven) than output equals to production capacity times square root of k. That model doesn't converge and IMO provide high enough penalty to overdriving.<br /><br />Hmm, I may be confusing some terms. In MoO 3 term "overdrive" is used were money is distributed to industry and research a uses different model (where factors per overflow are 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ..., 1/n). DEA efficiency is labeled as "employment rate" or something like that.Ivan Kravarscanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686707414520299577noreply@blogger.com
