Agent-Based Social Simulation with Coalitions in Social Reasoning [PDF]
, 2000 There is a growing belief that the agents' cognitive structures play a central role on the enhancement of predicative capacities of decision-making strategies. This paper analyses and simulates the construction of cognitive social structures in the process of decision making with multiple actors.

Facing expectations: Those that we prefer to fulfil and those that we disregard
Judgment and Decision Making, 2015 We argue that people choosing prosocial distribution of goods (e.g., in dictator games) make this choice because they do not want to disappoint their partner rather than because of a direct preference for the chosen prosocial distribution.

Games, 2018 In this work, we explore the role of learning dynamics and social norms in human cooperation on networks. We study the model recently introduced in [Physical Review E, 97, 042321 (2018)] that integrates the well-studied Experience Weighted Attraction ...

Partner selection supported by opaque reputation promotes cooperative behavior
Judgment and Decision Making, 2016 Reputation plays a major role in human societies, and it has been proposed as an explanation for the evolution of cooperation. While the majority of previous studies equates reputation with a transparent and complete history of players’ past decisions ...

Agent-Based Social Simulation for Policy Making
, 2023 In agent-based social simulations (ABSS), an artificial population of intelligent agents that imitate human behavior is used to investigate complex phenomena within social systems. This is particularly useful for decision makers, where ABSS can provide a sandpit for investigating the effects of policies prior to their implementation.

MAIA: a Framework for Developing Agent-Based Social Simulations [PDF]
Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 2013 In this paper we introduce and motivate a conceptualization framework for agent-based social simulation, MAIA: Modelling Agent systems based on Institutional Analysis. The MAIA framework is based on Ostrom's Institutional Analysis and Development framework, and provides an extensive set of modelling concepts that is rich enough to capture a large range

Stochastic Agent-Based Simulations of Social Networks
CoRR, 2013 The rapidly growing field of network analytics requires data sets for use in evaluation. Real world data often lack truth and simulated data lack narrative fidelity or statistical generality. This paper presents a novel, mixed-membership, agentbased simulation model to generate activity data with narrative power while providing statistical diversity ...

Applied System Innovation, 2023 This study assesses the impact of incorporating an adaptive learning mechanism into an agent-based model simulating behavior on a university campus during a pandemic outbreak, with the particular case of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our model not only captures

Invariance and Universality in Social Agent-Based Simulations [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2002 Agent-based simulation models have a promising future in the social sciences, from political science to anthropology, economics, and sociology. To realize their full scientific potential, however, these models must address a set of key problems, such as the number of interacting agents and their geometry, network topology, time calibration ...
