Summary
Abstract: This chapter discusses how Monte Carlo Simulations (MCS) can be used to improve empirical studies of compliance. They are a form of stochastic simulation, which aim to imitate and represent real-world processes with the use of random variables. This chapter describes three applications of MCS using compliance-related examples, including (a) estimating total costs of noncompliance, (b) identifying the optimal sample size for a planned study, and (c) demonstrating potential bias in model estimates. Ultimately, MCS can assist the field of compliance in navigating certain problems faced by many research domains, such as replication problems.
