Policy Making and Modeling in a Complex World

    Managing a complex system requires a good understanding of the system. The implications of complexities can also be unpredictable. Agent-based simulation is discussed as a tool suitable for this task. Question: Agent-based modeling has been applied in many domains. Why are they becoming an influential methodology to study social systems? Research the role of ABM in the process of policymaking and implementation particularly in complex areas. Provide an example to demonstrate the application of ABM.
