作为一种新兴但快速发展的研究方法,基于主体模拟在方法论上有效补充了传统公共管理研究途径,为相关问题的探索提供了一种自下而上、动态演化的角度与方法。尽管如此,基于主体模拟目前在公共管理领域中的应用远不及其应有潜能。公共管理研究者与实践者对这一研究方法的认知与使用也落后于其他社会科学领域。本文旨在通过全面介绍这种相对年轻的研究方法,促进其在公共管理领域中的应用,以期推动公共管理理论与实践的创新与发展。
As a young but rapidly growing research method, ABM could serve as a methodological supplement to the tools and techniques commonly used in PA studies, and provide a bottom-to-up and dynamic perspective on PA problems. However, its full potential for this field is currently far from full realization. PA has also lagged behind other social sciences in recognizing and exploiting ABM. This study purports to comprehensively introduce this relatively young research method, to improve its application in PA and advance the development of PA theory and practice.
