Methodological Issues of Agent-Based Modeling in Social Sciences
Agent-based modeling is used in many areas of science. Agent-based modeling has originated in AI, and its initial purpose of use differs from many applications it has nowadays. This shift in the usage of agent-based thinking causes a discontinuation point in the philosophical background of the method. This paper discusses two issues arising from this setting: (2) the history of agentbased model...
متن کاملModeling Social Mechanisms: Mechanism-Based Explanations and Agent-Based Modeling in the Social Sciences
An increasing number of philosophers of social sciences and of social scientists are getting interested in the relevance of mechanism-based explanations (MBE) in the social sciences. According to MBE, we explain a phenomenon by revealing the mechanism(s) responsible for its occurrence. In the social sciences, MBE has been particularly endorsed by analytical sociology. According to several propo...
متن کاملAgent-based modeling in the social and behavioral sciences.
Scholars in recent years applying the sciences of complexity to social and behavioral phenomena have suffered from two distinct problems. One group of studies focused on the production of revealing metaphors at the cost of analytical rigor. Another set of studies developed mathematical models and techniques that remained remote to even sophisticated students of the sciences of complexity. Durin...
متن کاملAgent-Based Modeling: The Right Mathematics for the Social Sciences?
This study provides a basic introduction to agent-based modeling (ABM) as a powerful blend of classical and constructive mathematics, with a primary focus on its applicability for social science research. The typical goals of ABM social science researchers are discussed along with the culture-dish nature of their computer experiments. The applicability of ABM for science more generally is also ...
متن کاملAgent-Based Models and Simulations in Economics and Social Sciences
Now that complex Agent-Based Models and computer simulations spread over economics and social sciences as in most sciences of complex systems -, epistemological puzzles (re)emerge. We introduce new epistemological concepts so as to show to what extent authors are right when they focus on some empirical, instrumental or conceptual significance of their model or simulation. By distinguishing betw...
