Abstract

Computational modeling, and agent-based modeling in particular, is becoming increasingly popular in Political Science. With the potential to incorporate many heterogeneous actor and their complex interactions, agent-based models are able to overcome the limitations of conventional modeling approaches. The papers on this panel should apply computational modeling to a variety of research areas in political science and demonstrate how empirical data can be integrated into these models.
