Abstract:

This paper proposes a novel research architecture for social scientists that want to employ simulation methods. The new framework gives an integrated view of a research process that involves simulation modeling. It highlights the importance of the theoretical foundation of a simulation model and shows how new theory-driven hypotheses can be derived that are empirically testable. The paper describes the different aspects of the framework in detail and shows how it can help structure the research efforts of scholars interested in using simulations.
