    @atlaseconomist Computer simulations are theoretical models, they can’t measure anything They are useful to replicate real world phenomenon in a virtual environment, in which we can perform policy simulations or similar things Simulation are computational Petri dishes

      @atlaseconomist To judge wether a given simulation is a good one, we definitely need clear criterion – as in econometrics we use thresholds or indicators to decide if we accept or reject an hypothesis I think it’s a very good question with a very non-trivial answer!
