Abstract: |
Petri nets were originally
developed in order to describe concurrent processes in computers and other
automata. This paper identifies the features of Petri nets, which are essential
for doing semi-quantitative analyses of public policies. The toolkit
resulting from this methodological investigation is subsequently used for an
exemplary analysis of smoking-bans and -restrictions in public places. At the
end, the article presents empirical evidence, which seems to corroborate some
inferences deduced from the model. |
