A Modeling Approach that Integrates Individual Behavior, Social Networks, and Cross-Cultural Variation.

abstract：:Computational models of human collective behavior offer promise in providing quantitative and empirically verifiable accounts of how individual decisions lead to the emergence of group-level organizations. Agent-based models (ABMs) describe interactions among individual agents and their environment, and provide a proc...
