BeModeLS July Webinar: Validation in agent-based models, and modelling to examine power dynamics in agri-food transitions

9 July 2024 at 10:00 Eastern US Daylight Savings (UTC -4)

On 9 July 2024, the AIMES/GLP Working Group on Behavioural Models of Land Systems Working Group hosted Christian Troost and Robert Huber, who discussed validation in agent-based models, including a protocol for finding and documenting context-adequate and mutually consistent methods throughout the modelling process. Tim Williams discussed using modelling to examine power dynamics in agri-food transitions. These talks featured the research of working group members and included Q&A from the audience: 

• Christian Troost, Researcher and senior lecturer at the department of Land Use Economics at the University of Hohenheim and Robert Huber, Lecturer at the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zürich
  
  • How to keep it adequate: A protocol for ensuring validity in agent-based simulation (PDF, 4 MB)
• Tim Williams, Postdoctoral researcher in the Environmental Geography Group at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
  
  •  Modelling power dynamics in agri-food transition (PDF, 3.6 MB)
