Agent-Based Modeling in Public Health: Current Applications and Future Directions (2018, background): “Applications of ABMs in ecology, business, political science, and the social sciences (7, 8, 30, 69, 73, 88) have been influential in the development of ABMs in public health, as well as in the formalization and standardization of these approaches across disciplines (46–48).”
A Third Wave in the Economics of Climate Change (2015, background): “As we mentioned in the introduction, ABMs have already been applied in a diverse range of different contexts, including conflict dynamics (Lim et al. 2007; Epstein 2002), pandemics (Halloran et al.”
A random walk in the literature on criminality: A partial and critical view on some statistical analyses and modelling approaches (2010, unknown): “Several papers propose and explain general implementations (see for example [13]) but there are few results published in the literature [35,51,52,103].”
Tutorial on agent-based modeling and simulation (2005, background): “Theoretical applications include social emergence (Sawyer, 2005), the emergence of cooperation (Axelrod, 1997), the generation of social instability (Epstein, 2002), and the collective behaviour of people in crowds (Pan et al, 2007).”
Heterogeneity and Network Structure in the Dynamics of Diffusion: Comparing Agent-Based and Differential Equation Models (2008, background): “In the social sciences, agent models explore phenomena from the emergence of segregation to organizational evolution to market dynamics (Schelling 1978; Levinthal and March 1981; Carley 1992; Axelrod 1997; Lomi and Larsen 2001; Axtell, Epstein et al. 2002; Epstein 2002; Tesfatsion 2002).”
The Complexities of Agent-Based Modeling Output Analysis (2015, methodology): “4.9 To further demonstrate DTW's effectiveness, we compare 40 distinct parameter settings in Epstein's ABM of civil violence (Epstein 2002; Wilensky 2004).”
