Agent-Based Computational Demography (ABCD) aims at starting a new
stream of research among social scientists whose interests lie in
understanding demographic behaviour. The book takes a
micro-demographic (agent-based) perspective and illustrates the
potentialities of computer simulation as an aid in theory building.
The chapters of the book, written by leading experts either in
demography or in agent-based modelling, address several key
questions. Why do we need agent-based computational demography? How
can ABCD be applied to the study of migrations, family demography,
and historical demography? What are the peculiarities of
agent-based models as applied to the demography of human
populations? ABCD is of interest to all scientists interested in
studying demographic behaviour, as well as to computer scientists
and modellers who are looking for a promising field of application.
