The book "Towards Bayesian Model-Based Demography Agency, Complexity and Uncertainty in Migration Studies", edited by Jakuub Bijak, with contributions by Philip A. Higham, Jason Hilton, Martin Hinsch, Sarah Nurse, Toby Prike, Oliver Reinhardt, Peter W.F. Smith, Adelinde M. Uhrmacher and Tom Warnke, has been published in Springer's Methodos series.
In the book, the results so far of the project "Bayesian Agent-based Population Studies" are summarised. Its main aims are to pursue methodological advancement in demography and migration studies through combining agent-based modelling with empirical data, Bayesian statistical inference, appropriate computational techniques, and psychological experiments in a streamlined modelling process, with the overarching aim to contribute to furthering the model-based research agenda in demography and the broader social sciences.
The book is open access and available via the publisher's website.
