Recensioner i media

“This work is one of many in the unfolding field of computational social science that not only analyzes data, but additionally runs simulations and develops databased models to understand current and future environments. As such it is a valuable study not only for the specific subject matter, but also for the potentially broad application of the techniques employed. … This research is a noteworthy contribution to the emerging multidisciplinary and computationally aided social sciences.” (Computing Reviews, October, 2017)
