Abstract: |
A series of examples of computational
models is provided, where the model aim is to interpret numerical results in
terms of internal states of agents' minds. Two opposite strategies or
research can be distinguished in the literature. First is to reproduce the richness
and complexity of real world as faithfully as possible, second is to apply
simple assumptions and check the results in depth. As a rule, the results of the
latter method agree only qualitatively with some stylized facts. The price we
pay for more detailed predictions within the former method is that
consequences of the rich set of underlying assumptions remain unchecked. Here
we argue that for computational reasons, complex models with many parameters
are less suitable. |
