Humat
In this paper we present HUMAT, an integrated modelling framework that supports the simulation of social dynamics.HUMAT integrates theoretical ideas about human motives, cognitive dissonance, individual and social decision strategies, and the processes of influence that take place in networked communities.As such, HUMAT provides a generic model that can be implemented in a wide variety of cases dealing with opinion and behaviour dynamics in a soc…
SimIceland
Islands and island communities are often perceived as homogenous in mainstream discourse. While many islands share characteristics, such as smallness or isolation, these are experienced differently across and within island contexts and intersect with spatial, socio-cultural, political, and economic landscapes. The concept of islandness is developed to both understand shared island characteristics and their differences across places, communities, …
Simulating household energy behavior diffusion using spatial microsimulation and econometric models
Analyzing household energy behaviors from a spatial perspective is crucial for both policymakers and network operators. However, conducting spatial analysis at a fine scale presents significant challenges, primarily due to data scarcity. This article demonstrates the potential of integrating spatial microsimulation and spatial econometric models to address this issue. Specifically, we construct a static spatial microsimulation model to create a s…
Social value orientation and learning in repeated step-level public goods games
How individuals value their own and others' outcomes is conceptualized as their Social Value Orientation (SVO). Research demonstrates that SVO is a valid predictor of cooperative behavior across various empirical settings. However, once individuals interact repeatedly, the relative strength and stability of the SVO-behavior link are less clear cut. We postulate that learning mechanisms have a bearing on cooperative behavior and potentially overri…
Simulating the Role of Norms in Processes of Social Innovation
Norms and values are critical drivers in social innovation processes, such as community projects on sustainable energy. Simulating such processes could help uncover conditions that support these social innovations. Capturing the rich literature on drivers of social innovation in more simple computational rules is a challenge however. In this paper, we present three empirically grounded case simulations addressing social innovations where norms an…
Sensemaking of causality in agent-based models
Even though agent-based modelling is seen as committing to a mechanistic, generative type of causation, the methodology allows for representing many other types of causal explanations. Agent-based models are capable of integrating diverse causal relationships into coherent causal mechanisms. They mirror the crucial, multi-level component of emergent phenomena and recognize the important role of single-level causes without limiting the scope of th…
The emergence of conventions in the repeated volunteer's dilemma
Conventions are arbitrary rules of behavior that coordinate social interactions. Here we study the effects of individuals' social value orientations (SVO) and situational conditions on the emergence of conventions in the three-person volunteer's dilemma (VOD). The VOD is a step-level collective good game in which only one actor's action is required to produce a benefit for the group. It has been shown that if actors interact in the payoff-symmetr…
