"Corten's book provides a very nice example of atheorizing-modelling-empirical testing cycle which can advancesociological investigation. This is a worth-reading book for everyscholar who wants to understand the research life cycle incomputational sociology. It is methodologically rigorous as well asinspirational and enlightening."

Computational Approaches to Studying the Co-evolution of Networks and Behavior in Social Dilemmas

von Rense Corten
Computational Approaches to Studying the Co-evolution of Networks and Behaviour in Social Dilemmas shows students, researchers, and professionals how to use computation methods, rather than mathematical analysis, to answer research questions for an easier, more productive method of testing their models. Illustrations of general methodology are provided and explore how computer simulation is used to bridge the gap between formal theoretical models and empirical applications.
