Agent-based Models and Causal Inference
Agent-based Models and Causal InferenceScholars of causal inference have given little credence to the possibility that ABMs could be an important tool in warranting causal claims. The book starts by describing the impressive progress that ABMs have made as a credible methodology in the last several decades. Manzo's book makes a convincing case that this is a mistake.
The book concludes by looking at four examples where an analysis based on ABMs complements and augments the evidence for specific causal claims provided by other methods. It then goes on to compare the inferential threats to ABMs versus the traditional methods of RCTs, regression, and instrumental variables showing that they have a common vulnerability of being based on untestable assumptions. Manzo has done a most convincing job of showing that ABMs can be an important resource in any researcher's tool
