Among quantitative sociologists, the interest in causality issues was reinforced by the rapid diffusion in sociology of the potential outcome approach to causality (Morgan and Winship 2014), an approach in turn fostered by older contributions in statistics (for a historical overview, see Imbens and Rubin 2015 ch. 2) and economics (Heckman 2005), and reinvigorated by recent developments in computer science (Spirtes et al. 2000; Pearl 2009) as well as philosophical discussions (Woodward 2003). Extensive literature review documented that establishing causal claims is now one of the primary goals of many articles published in leading sociological journals, be these quantitative, qualitative or historical studies (see Abend et al. 2013; Ermakoff 2019). Traces of the concept of causality can also be found in the literature on mechanism-based thinking (Hedstro?m and Ylikoski 2010) and on agent-based computational models (Bianchi and Squazzoni 2015). And these also are two research topics in rapid expansion in contemporary sociology"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aWiley Series in Computational and Quantitative Social Science 606 $aCausation 606 $aInference 606 $aMultiagent systems 615 0$aCausation. 615 0$aInference. 615 0$aMultiagent systems. 676 $a122 700 $aManzo$b Gianluca$01628640 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831035103321 996 $aAgent-based models and causal inference$93965877 997 $aUNINA
