Abstract
As the many novel contributions to this volume show, Agent-Based Models (ABMs) offer exciting possibilities for including explanatory mechanisms, such as behavioural rules governing individual behaviour, in the analysis of demographic phenomena. Knowledge about the abstract statistical individual (Courgeau 2012) derived from empirical data can in this way be augmented by rule-based explanations, giving demography much-needed theoretical foundations (Billari et al. 2003).
