Description: Agent-based Models and Causal Inference, Hardcover by Manzo, Gianluca, ISBN 1119704472, ISBN-13 9781119704478, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "The concept of causality and quantitative techniques for causal inference have been extensively discussed in sociology by a variety of scholars with different research programs and theoretical perspectives (see, among others, Marini and Singer 1988; Abbott 1998; Doreian 1999; Goldthorpe 2001; Winship and Sobel 2004; Mahoney 2008; Gangl 2010; Mahoney and Ragin 2013; for a historical perspective, see also Barringer et al. 2013).

Extensive literature review documented that establishing causal claims is now one of the primary goals of many articles published in leading sociological journals, be these quantitative, qualitative or historical studies (see Abend et al. 2013; Ermakoff 2019). Traces of the concept of causality can also be found in the literature on mechanism-based thinking (Hedstrèom and Ylikoski 2010) and on agent-based computational models (Bianchi and Squazzoni 2015). And these also are two research topics in rapid expansion in contemporary sociology"--
