While there are examples of noteworthy efforts to bridge the gap between these, there is still a need for much more cooperative work between formal theorists and empirical researchers in the discipline. This book explores how empirical analysis has, can, and should be used to evaluate formal models in political science. The book is intended to be a guide for active and future political scientists who are confronting the issues of empirical analysis with formal models in their work and as a basis for a needed dialogue between empirical and formal theoretical researchers in political science. These developments, if combined, are potentially a basis for a new revolution in political science.Methods & ModelsPolitical scienceMathematical modelsPolitical statisticsPolitical scienceMathematical models.Political statistics.320/.01/5Morton Rebecca B.1954-1542320UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910783130803321Methods and models3794938UNINA
