Essentially, simulation is the researcher’s response to the inability of computers to perform integration. Stated more precisely, simulation ... To focus ideas, I will now establish the conceptual basis for discrete choice models and show where integration comes into play. An agent (i.e., person, firm, decision-maker) faces a choice, or a ...
