Agentbased simulation has become increasingly popular as a modeling approach in the social sciences because it enables researchers to build models where individual entities and their interactions are directly represented. The Second Edition of Nigel Gilberts AgentBased Models introduces this technique; considers a range of methodological and theoretical issues; shows how to design an agentbased model, with a simple example; offers some practical advice about developing, verifying and validating agentbased models; and finally discusses how to plan an agentbased modelling project, publish the results and apply agentbased modeling to formulate and evaluate social and economic policies. A website to accompany the book includes an annotated exemplar model using NetLogo.
