The divide has grown sharper in the wake of new behavioural and experimental perspectives which draw on both sides of these modelling schemes. This book works to address this disconnect by establishing a framework for methodological unification: empirical implications of theoretical models (EITM). This framework connects behavioural and applied statistical concepts, develops analogues of these concepts, and links and evaluates these analogues. The authors offer detailed explanations of how these concepts may be framed, to assist researchers interested in incorporating EITM into their own research. They go on to demonstrate how EITM may be put into practice for a range of disciplines within the social sciences, including voting, party identification, social interaction, learning, conflict and cooperation to macro-policy formulation"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (Cambridge Core, viewed November 15, 2021) Subject Political science -- Research -- Methodology Social sciences -- Research -- Methodology Economics -- Research -- Methodology Economics -- Research -- Methodology Political science -- Research -- Methodology Social sciences -- Research -- Methodology Genre/Form Electronic books Form Electronic book Author Lo, Melody, author Wong, M.
