RMF2010 Abstracts


Session: 30 - Wedneday 7th July AM (9.15 - 12.45)

Title: Simulation

Name: Nigel Gilbert

Affiliation: NCRM SIMIAN node


Abstract Details

This session, run by the SIMIAN node of NCRM, will show how simulation (specifically agent-based modelling) can be used to suggest new concepts, relate apparently diverse social science theories and make data more tractable and comprehensible. Presentations will focus on studies of innovation, social dilemmas, and norms and morality. Simulation is neither a 'qualitative' nor a 'quantitative' method and the session will be of interest to those who have never thought about simulation as well as to those who are already well versed in this new methodology. The session will conclude with a question and answer panel.
