EXPLORING THE USE OF AGENT-BASED MODELING (ABM) IN MIXED METHODS RESEARCH

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is in many ways an outsider in social research methods, but I will here argue that it has an important role to play in combination with other methods and approaches. ABM can be used in ways that offer unique benefits to social science researchers, but due to the abstract n...
