Towards Bayesian Model-Based Demography : Agency, Complexity and Uncertainty in Migration Studies /
This open access book presents a ground-breaking approach to developing micro-foundations for demography and migration studies. It offers a unique and novel methodology for creating empirically grounded agent-based models of international migration - one of the most uncertain population processes an...
