Section 4 of the Computational Process Studies paper contains research directions we think are promising and can be investigated with other methods, too. The paper was accepted by Complexity and is currently undergoing revisions—the reviewers liked our summary and thrust, just the maths is too basic for the audience, so we’re expanding the model. Section 1 of our Long-term Institutional Fit working paper (update in the works, too) also ends with concrete questions we’d like answered.
Thanks for starting this discussion! I have essentially the same comment as David, just a different body of literature: policy process studies.
We reviewed the field in the context of our Computational Policy Process Studies paper (section 1.1).From that, I recommend Paul Cairney’s work, e.g. Understanding public policy (2019), and Weible & Sabatier’s Theories of the Policy Process (2018).
