[ Your Name ] would like to inform you about this article on Complexity Digest 2010.04 - 12.02 http://comdig.unam.mx/index.php?id_issue=2010.04#33233 2010/02/12 [ Your Message ] Editor-in-Chief: Carlos Gershenson Founding Editor: Gottfried Mayer Agent-Based Models and Simulations in Economics and Social Sciences: From Conceptual Exploration to Distinct Ways of Experimenting, JASSS Excerpt: Now that complex Agent-Based Models and computer simulations spread over economics and social sciences - as in most sciences of complex systems -, epistemological puzzles (re)emerge. We introduce new epistemological concepts so as to show to what extent authors are right when they focus on some empirical, instrumental or conceptual significance of their model or simulation.
