Modelling in Population Biology viewed as an earlier progenitor of Alife. Population biologists frequently use mathematical models to investigate the behaviour of animal populations, drawing from a similar methodological toolbox as that used by demographers, and in doing so have grappled with the difficulties inherent in modellin

This chapter will describe the current status of agent-based social science research, outlining some of the most influential work in this developing field. We will then investigate the methodological difficulties faced by modellers i

These ideas will be put into context using our bird migration example and incorporate ideas drawn from our analysis of Schelling’s residential segregation model. We will then discuss the further considerations nee

Modelling in Demography: From Statistics to Simulationsrea of social science. We will discuss the empirical strengths of demography, it’s theoretical shortcomings, and prospects for the future. Subsequent chapters will demonstrate the state-of-the-art in integrating agent-based models with the statistical frameworks more commonly used in demography.

In this chapter, we will investigate some demographic models which have used agent-based approaches successfully to produce useful insight. We wi

Having taken stock of the state of model-based demography, we will discuss how this methodological paradigm might influence efforts to establish simulation as a po
