115 data points defining medieval trade routes connecting the Baltic
and Black Sea.

This document comprises a georeferenced data set belonging to the Old
World Trade Routes (OWTRAD) project. It can be used for historical
research (e.g. validation of some set of facts); analyses of
distances/ travel times/ modes of travel/ cargo moved along
particular transportation corridors; construction of an electronic
map, or GIS model of the movement/ transport/ communication circuits
in a given area and time-period.

Tian-yai postal relay station, Guang-dong, 1416

http://epress.nus.edu.sg/msl/entry/2344

Southeast Asia in the Ming Shi-lu

(14 Jun 1416)

The Ying-guo Duke Zhang Fu, regional commander of Jiao-zhi, advised: "Travelling from the Tian-yai postal relay station in Qin Subprefecture, Guang-dong, one can go from Mao-wei Port to Yong-lun and Fo-tao, and then after passing through Wan-ning County, one will arrive in Jiao-zhi. This journey can mainly be travelled by water and only 291 li has to be traversed overland. This route is seven postal relay stations shorter than the old route through Qiu-wen. We should establish river and horse postal relay stations to facilitate movement to and fro." This was approved. Thus, in Guang-dong, the following were established: The Fang-cheng and Fo-tao Postal Relay River Stations, the Ning-yue and Yong-lun Transport Offices and the Fo-tao Police Office, all in Qin Subprefecture; and the Long-men and An-qian Postal Relay Horse Stations and the An-he and Ge-mu Transport Offices in Ling-shan County. In Jiao-zhi, the following were established: The Tong-an Postal Relay River Station and the Tong-an Transport Office in Jing-an Subprefecture; the Wan-ning Postal Relay River Station and the Wan-ning Transport Office in Wan-ning County; three postal relay river stations at Xin-an in Xin-an County, An-he in An-he County and Dong-chao in Dong-chao Subprefecture; the Ping-tan Postal Relay River Station and Ping-tan Transport Office in Zhi-ling County; and the Ci-shan postal relay river station in Ci-shan County. The Jia-lin Postal Relay Horse Station and the Lu River Postal Relay Horse Station in Jiao-zhou, as well as the Tian-yai Postal Relay Horse Station in Qin Subprefecture, Guang-dong were all changed to postal relay river stations. The postal relay river station at Zhou-men in Heng Subprefecture, Guang-xi was placed under the jurisdiction of Nan-ning Prefecture. In Jiao-zhi, the Xin-an Independent Battalion was established.

4. The Trade Network Game (Endogenous Network Formation)
(.... the Trade Network Game (TNG) is a framework for studying the formation and evolution of trade networks among strategically interacting traders (Buyers, Sellers, and Dealers) operating under variously specified market protocols. Successive generations of resource-constrained traders choose and refuse trade partners on the basis of continually updated expected utility, engage in bilateral trade interactions modeled as symmetric 2-person games, and evolve their trading strategies over time using genetic algorithm learning.
The TNG permits the resulting trade outcomes to be studied at four different levels: trader attributes (endogenous evolution of personality types); trade network formation (who is trading with whom, and with what regularity); expressed trade behavior (cooperative, predacious,...); and individual and social welfare measures (market efficiency, market power, individual utility levels,...).
Each TNG trader in a bilateral trade can either play C (cooperate) or D (defect). The TNG GUI Settings Screen permits the user to specify arbitrary payoffs for the four situations a trader could find himself in as a result of a bilateral trade: CC (Both Cooperate); DD (Both Defect); DC (Temptation, i.e. the trader defects against a cooperating partner); and CD (Sucker, i.e. the trader is cooperating but his partner defects against him). Consequently, a variety of symmetric 2-person games can be explored, including prisoner's dilemma, the Chicken game, and the Stag Hunt game ...)
