Using Coleman's well-known scheme as an anchor, we review key features of explanations of social phenomena that employ micro-macro models. Some antecedents of micro-macro models and of Coleman's scheme as well as some paradigmatic examples of micro-macro links are sketched. We then discuss micro-level assumptions in micro-macro explanations and the robustness of macro-level implications to variations in micro-level assumptions. We conclude with an overview of some recent developments in micro…

Micro-Macro Models in Sociology: Antecedents of Coleman’s Diagram
In sociology, Coleman’s diagram (the “Coleman-boat” or “Coleman’s bathtub”) has become the standard way of representing micro-macro links. Coleman’s work on micro-macro links and his diagram have…
23. Religious Diversity and Social Cohesion in German Classrooms: A Micro-Macro Study Based on Empirical Simulations
The micro-macro transition is a core problem of sociological theory building. Micro-intentions and micro-behavior do not straightforwardly translate into corresponding phenomena on the macro level,…
What Are Microfoundations?
In the extant organizational, management, and strategy literatures there are now frequent calls for microfoundations. However, there is little consensus on what micro- foundations are and what they…
The Methodology/Theory Interface: Ethnography and the Microfoundations of Institutions
I explore the interrelations between methodology and theory by examining how specific research strategies afford specific lines of theorizing. My case study is recent studies in which scholars…
Empirical Implications of Theoretical Models in Political Science
Tension has long existed in the social sciences between quantitative and qualitative approaches on one hand, and theory-minded and empirical techniques on the other. The latter divide has grown…
Microfoundations of institutional change
The central article of this symposium by Daniel DellaPosta, Victor Nee, and Sonja Opper (DNO hereafter) makes an important contribution to the study of institutions (DellaPosta et al., 2017).…
Seed Starting the Microfoundations of Strategy: A Butterfly Effect?
In this paper we focus on the development of the literature on microfoundations of strategy. The objective is to identify the building blocks that make up the microfoundations framework. We start…
Surveys, Experiments, and the Landscape of International Political Economy
The contributions to this issue show that surveys and experiments offer exciting new tools for doing empirical research in international political economy (IPE). This essay cautions that the utility…
Testing and Revising the Human Development Sequence Theory using Agent-Based Simulation and Data
Agent-based modeling is a promising tool for studying emergent macro-phenomena from micro-level mechanisms. We propose a methodology for converting theories about social change into mathematical…
Representing Micro–Macro Linkages by Actor-based Dynamic Network Models
TLDR
Network-level consequences of dynamic actor-based models applied to represent cross-sectional network data are studied to illustrate how network-level characteristics can be obtained as emergent features implied by microspecifications of actor- based models.

Models of structural change should be able to explain constancy as well as change, must combine micro- and macrolevel analysis, and must encompass endogenous sources of change. It is necessary to…

How behavior and institutions are affected by social relations is one of the classic questions of social theory. This paper concerns the extent to which economic action is embedded in structures of…

Dynamic models of segregation
TLDR
The systemic effects are found to be overwhelming: there is no simple correspondence of individual incentive to collective results, and a general theory of ‘tipping’ begins to emerge.

Economic theory can, for the purposes of what I shall say here, be seen as consisting of two parts. One part is the microfoundation of purposive action, using a model of action that is especially…
