Agent-Based Modelling of Social-Ecological Systems: Achievements, Challenges, and a Way Forward
2017
Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation
It should be kept in mind, though, that the main di erence between agent-based modelling of ecological and social-ecological systems is that representing the decision-making of humans is far more complex ...
We firstly reviewed achievements and challenges with regard to the elements of the TRACE framework addressed in reviews and method papers of social-ecological ABMs. ...

Formalising theories of human decision-making for agent-based modelling of social-ecological systems: practical lessons learned and ways forward
2020
Socio-Environmental Systems Modelling
Incorporating representations of human decision-making that are based on social science theories into social-ecological models is considered increasingly important – yet choosing and formalising a theory ...
Here, we reflect on our experiences of selecting, formalising and documenting psychological and economic theories of human decision-making for inclusion in different agent-based models (ABMs) of natural ...
We also thank our colleagues Andres We also acknowledge the valuable feedback from the students of the winter school in January 2017 on "How to model human decision-making in social-ecological agent-based ...
