A review of agent based modeling for agricultural policy evaluationA review of agent based modeling for agricultural policy evaluation Ανασκόπηση Review 2019-09-042018enFarm level scale policy analysis is receiving increased attention due to a changing agricultural policy orientation. Agent based models (ABM) are farm level models that have appeared in the end of 1990's, having several differences from traditional farm level models, like the consideration of interactions between farms, the way markets are simulated, the inclusion of agents’ bounded rationality, behavioral heterogeneity, etc. Considering the potential of ABMs to complement existing farm level models and that they are a relatively recent approach with a growing demand for new models and modelers, we perform a systematic literature review to (a) consolidate in a consistent and transparent way the literature status on policy evaluation ABMs; (b) examine the status of the literature regarding model transparency; the modeling of the agents’ decision processes; and the creation of the initial population.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Agricultural Systems164July 201895-106 Athanasiadis, Ioannis N Rozakis Stylianos Ροζακης Στυλιανος Kremmydas Dimitris Elsevier ABM Agricultural policy Systematic review Agent based modeling
