It features a range of disciplines including behavioural sciences, computer science, finance, and statistics with an emphasis on philosophy. The first of the three parts examines methods of social scientific discovery. Chapters investigate the nature of causal analysis, philosophical issues around scale development in behavioural science research, imagination in social scientific practice, and relationships between paradigms of inquiry and scientific fraud. The next part considers the practice of social science discovery. Chapters discuss the lack of genuine scientific discovery in finance where hypotheses concern the cheapness of securities, the logic of scientific discovery in macroeconomics, and the nature of that what discovery with the Solidarity movement as a case study. The final part covers formalising theories in social science. Chapters analyse the abstract model theory of institutions as a way of representing the structure of scientific theories, the semi-automatic generation of cognitive science theories, and computational process models in the social sciences. The volume offers a unique perspective on scientific discovery in the social sciences. It will engage scholars and students with a multidisciplinary interest in the philosophy of science and social science. 410 0$aSynthese Library, Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science,$x0166-6991 ;$v413 606 $aPhilosophy and social sciences 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aComputers and civilization 606 $aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E36000 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 606 $aSimulation and Modeling$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I19000 606 $aComputers and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24040 615 0$aPhilosophy and social sciences. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 0$aComputers and civilization. 615 14$aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aSimulation and Modeling. 615 24$aComputers and Society. 676 $a300.1 676 $a300.72 702 $aAddis$b Mark$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLane$b Peter C.
