Computer simulated empirical tests of social theory : lessons from 15 years' experience

Modelling sociological theories requires conceptual integration, realistically quantified variables, and clearly specified relationships. To test theories by running such models against empirical time series the model must correlate with data, and also show visual fit between the trends.
