Agent Based Modelling for Social Research- Introduction Youtube. 2022
In this video, Professor Jakub Bijak introduces the online materials for this short course on Agent-Based Modelling for social research, outlining the share a novel approach from building, validating and analysing agent-based simulation models, developed as a part of a four-year programme based on agent-based population studies funded by the European Research Council.

In this video, Oliver Reinhardt introduces you to two different ways to advance time in an agent-based simulation, identifying some of the inherent problems of time-stepped simulations and how to avoid them with discrete event simulation.

CPC Webinar: Keynote lecture on agent-based modelling | Alexia Fürnkranz-Prskawetz Youtube. 2020
CPC Webinar given by Alexia Fürnkranz-Prskawetz, deputy director of the Vienna Institute of Demography at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, on Tuesday 3rd November 2020. This presentation was also the keynote lecture for the "Short course on Agent-based modelling for social research", run by the project team "Bayesian Agent-based Population Studies". "An agent-based modelling approach to account for social interactions in demography ". Demographic behaviour cannot be explained and understood in isolation from the social network one is linked to (e.g. Åberg 2003; Montgomery and Casterline 1996). These networks may consist of family members, friends and other peer groups which will have an impact through social learning and social influence on each other. However, the formalisation of such network effects to explain individual demographic behaviour lags behind the empirical evidence or is often simplified in terms of macro-level diffusion mechanisms that do not allow understanding the mechanisms of social network effects from the bottom up. Agent-based models allow to integrate such network effects into models of individual demographic decision processes and to build up the macro-level demographic patterns (e.g. aggregate fertility rates, marriage rates, etc.) from the bottom up.
