The Perils of Tweaking: How to use macrodata to set parameters in complex simulation models.

Epstein, Brian.

Forber, Patrick.

2012.

Description
  • When can macroscopic data about a system be used to set parameters in a microfoundational simulation? We examine the epistemic viability of tweaking parameter values to generate a better fit between the outcome of a simulation and the available observational data. We restrict our focus to microfoundational simulations—those simulations that attempt to replicate the macrobehavior of a target system ... read more
