Behavioural and social factors in farm-level agent-based models for European agricultural policy evaluations
通过综述48个欧洲农业基于主体的模型并调查26位建模者和24位政策利益相关者，发现模型虽能细致刻画农民决策，但在行为与社会因素的整合上存在建模者与政策制定者期望的差距。
Abstract Agent-based models are valuable tools for agricultural policy evaluation. They can represent the heterogeneity of farmers and farmer interactions and are especially useful when behavioural and social factors are integrated to represent farmers’ decision-making. We assess the potential of agent-based models by conducting a review of forty-eight agent-based models developed for European agriculture and a survey with twenty-six modellers and twenty-four policy stakeholders. We find that while agent-based models provide nuanced representations of farmers’ decision-making processes, there is a gap between what is currently implemented in models, what modellers consider important and what policymakers expect.
