How the data boom is transforming the social sciences
Yale News reports on how the explosion of available data is changing the social sciences. Researchers in fields like economics, political science and sociology increasingly draw on large-scale datasets and computational methods to study human behaviour, moving beyond traditional surveys and interviews. The piece examines what this shift means for how social scientists work, the questions they can ask, and the challenges that come with data-driven research.
Why now: The rapid growth of big data and computational methods is prompting debate in academia about how research in the social sciences should be done.
