Abstract

The contribution of computer science in the social sciences is multiple. It offers a precious calculation tool, it improves the calculating power of men, it opens ways to theoretical experimentation and it incites the man of action to a scientific preparation of his decisions. It is an exceptional pedagogical tool, which improves the analysis of combined information and becomes an aid to intuition, thanks to the quality of the simulation models that it is able to use in a heuristic way. It allows the overcoming of disciplinary barriers. However, the computer-econometrics couple does not constitute the solution of all the problems either, because it is introduced into the computers of information and concepts whose quality remains still quite debatable. Moreover, human values do not lend themselves well to econometric calculations, which makes computer simulation systems an aid to the understanding of what is of the quantitative order.
