Computational Modeling Simulation Methodologies for Political Scientists
نویسنده
چکیده
In this brief article I identify and characterize the variety of simulation methodologies relevant to political science research. Having identified them, I then recount a lighthearted tale of one successful application of a computer simulation to a real world problem of enormous significance. Extending the discussion to other examples, I discuss some of the main issues and benefits in simulation models for political science. Finally, I identify some software tools and additional resources for those who would like to learn more about using simulation methods for their own work.
