"The main approaches to the use of computer simulations as aids in theory construction in the social sciences are reviewed. The current impact of computer simulation methods on sociological theory construction is neglectable. Some advantages of simulation methods and a few reasons for their disuse are discussed. The main reasons for the disuse seem to be the domination of the system dynamics approach and the scarceness of process theories. In conjunction with the rational-choice approach, micro-economic modelling and the simulation of individual actors for the explanation of macro-phenomena currently seem to be the only promising tools for theory construction."
