Assessing vulnerability of selected farming communities in the Philippines based on a behavioural model of agent's adaptation to global environmental change (2008, methodology): “Many behavioural models have been developed for the analysis of agent-based systems and tested using artificial agents (e.g., Rao and Georgreff, 1995; Anderson, 1996; Jager et al., 2000; Lewis, 2001; Ziervogel et al., 2005).”
Who can eat information? Examining the effectiveness of seasonal climate forecasts and regional climate-risk management strategies (2006, background): “Illustrative examples of such cases are Vogel & Smith (2002), O’Brien & Vogel (2003), Ziervogel & Downing (2004), Ziervogel et al. (2005).”
Evaluating agricultural weather and climate services in Africa: Evidence, methods, and a learning agenda (2019, background): “Given the degree to which weather and climate shape agricultural production, a great deal of research has explored the relationship between weather, climate, and African agriculture (Calzadilla, Zhu, Rehdanz, Tol, & Ringler, 2013; Knox, Daccache, & Wheeler, 2012; Kotir, 2011; Schlenker & Lobell, 201”
Does climate adaptation policy need probabilities? (2004, background): “…or agent-based modelling, that try to do just this, even if integrated assessment has neglected adaptation almost entirely (Toth, 2000) and agent-based modelling is still immature in its application to climate change (see Ziervogel et al., 2004, for an application to seasonal climate forecasting).”
Agent-based model simulations of future changes in migration flows for Burkina Faso (2011, background): “(2006) to investigate rural–urban migration and Ziervogel et al. (2005) to assess the role of seasonal climate forecasts on the behaviour of small-holders in Lesotho.”
