Sugdens question, inductive generalization

Sugden wants to argue that

Significant similarity of what

Are the real causal factors in the model world the same as in the real world

Explanations in the model world_Substep 4

Explanations in the model world_Substep 5 und 6

Explanations in the model world_Form of inference in our setup

Explanations in the model world_Form of inference more generally

Explanations in the model world_About abduction

Explanations in the model world_how-posssibly explanations vs. how-actually explanations

Maximal strength of model results for the real world_assumption A

Maximal strength of model results for the real world_what kind of explanation in model world and what in real world

Logic of transfer_Usual framing

Logic of transfer_Main claim

Logic of transfer_In general how does one argue for the existence of a logical implication

Logic of transfer_Application to the justification of the claim The dynamics of weak x-for-x and y-for-y preferences logically implies x-y-segregatio

Logic of transfer_A logical implication can be applied immediately to both model world and real world

Logic of transfer_What explains the oddities of economists handling of models

Logic of transfer_graphically

Getting the how-actually explanation_problem

Getting the how-actually explanation_what it is not and what an adequate explanation by a model is

Conclusion_Graphical summary

Conclusion_most problematic aspect, how how-possibly can be transfored in how-actually, not a property of model itself

Conclusion_What is the function of abstract theoretical models
