> Outline: Computational agent-based models (ABM) have become increasingly
> popular in Political Science. The purpose of an ABM is to simulate the
> emergence of macro-level social phenomena based on the interaction of
> individuals. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to ABM,
> drawing on examples across political science, sociology and economics.
> Using the free NetLogo software, students learn how to design
> agent-based simulation models from scratch and evaluate their output.
> The course starts with a discussion of ABM principles, and proceeds with
> a step-by-step introduction of essential ABM building blocks and their
> corresponding implementation in NetLogo. Further topics include the
> integration of empirical data, and the automatic execution of multiple
> simulation ("batch") runs. In supervised lab sessions, students develop
> their own implementation of an ABM. The exercises are based on the
> simple NetLogo programming language, and no prior experience in
> programming is required.
