Agent-Based Models as “Interested Amateurs”
This paper proposes the use of agent-based models (ABMs) as “interested amateurs” in policy making, and uses the example of the SWAP model of soil and water conservation adoption to demonstrate the potential of this approach. Daniel Dennett suggests experts often talk past or misunderstand each other, seek to avoid offending each other or appearing ill-informed and generally err on the side of ...
متن کاملEmpirically Based, Agent-based models
There is an increasing drive to combine agent-based models with empirical methods. An overview is provided of the various empirical methods that are used for different kinds of questions. Four categories of empirical approaches are identified in which agent-based models have been empirically tested: case studies, stylized facts, role-playing games, and laboratory experiments. We discuss how the...
متن کاملAgent - Based Models
In Agent-based Models, the latest addition to his impressive body of scientific work, Nigel Gilbert's purpose is again pedagogical; here, to introduce graduate and post-graduate social science students as well as uninitiated social scientists to multi-agent systems. As may be deduced from the first lines of the preface, the restricted focus here restricted compared to the remarkable Simulation ...
متن کاملAgent-based models
Agent-based modeling is a new analytical method for the social sciences, but one that is quickly becoming popular. This short book explains what agent-based modeling is. It also warns of some dangers and describes typical ways of doing agent-based modeling. Finally, it offers a range of examples frommany of the social sciences. This first chapter begins with a brief overview of agent-based mode...
متن کاملAgent based models and opinion dynamics as Markov chains
This paper introduces a Markov chain approach that allows a rigorous analysis of agent based opinion dynamics as well as other related agent based models (ABM). By viewing the ABM dynamics as a microdescription of the process, we show how the corresponding macro-description is obtained by a projection construction. Then, well known conditions for lumpability make it possible to establish the ca...
