Antosz and colleagues' review of the role of theory in agent-based modelling (ABM) makes important recommendations for modelling practitioners. However, macro-micro-macro frameworks are not necessarily as reliant on existing theory as the review suggests.

Background: Recent scholarship has increasingly identified global power asymmetries as the root cause of health inequities. This article examines how such asymmetries manifest in global governance for health, and how this impacts health outcomes.
Results: We focus on the political-economic determinants of global health inequities, and how these determinants operate at different levels of social action (micro, meso, and macro) through distinct but interacting mechanisms.
