TLDR
The ODD + D protocol may prove helpful for describing ABMs in general when human decisions are included and incorporates a section on 'Theoretical and Empirical Background' to encourage model designs and model assumptions that are more closely related to theory.Abstract:
Representing human decisions is of fundamental importance in agent-based models. However, the rationale for choosing a particular human decision model is often not sufficiently empirically or theoretically substantiated in the model documentation. Furthermore, it is difficult to compare models because the model descriptions are often incomplete, not transparent and difficult to understand. Therefore, we expand and refine the 'ODD' (Overview, Design Concepts and Details) protocol to establish a standard for describing ABMs that includes human decision-making (ODD + D). Because the ODD protocol originates mainly from an ecological perspective, some adaptations are necessary to better capture human decision-making. We extended and rearranged the design concepts and related guiding questions to differentiate and describe decision-making, adaptation and learning of the agents in a comprehensive and clearly structured way. The ODD + D protocol also incorporates a section on 'Theoretical and Empirical Background' to encourage model designs and model assumptions that are more closely related to theory. The application of the ODD + D protocol is illustrated with a description of a social-ecological ABM on water use. Although the ODD + D protocol was developed on the basis of example implementations within the socio-ecological scientific community, we believe that the ODD + D protocol may prove helpful for describing ABMs in general when human decisions are included.read more

TL;DR: The steps taken to provide better guidance on structuring complex ODDs and an ODD summary for inclusion in a journal article are documented and the need for standard descriptions of simulation experiments is advocated.

TL;DR: It is shown that most human decision sub-models are not explicitly based on a specific theory and if so they are mostly based on economic theories, such as the rational actor, and mainly ignoring other relevant disciplines.

A perspective on judgment and choice: Mapping bounded rationality.
TL;DR: Determinants and consequences of accessibility help explain the central results of prospect theory, framing effects, the heuristic process of attribute substitution, and the characteristic biases that result from the substitution of nonextensional for extensional attributes.

Rules, games, and common-pool resources
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore empirically, theoretically, and experimentally the nature of such institutions and the way they come about, and show that there are many instances where institutions develop to protect against overexploitation.

Stock and Recruitment
TL;DR: Plotting net reproduction (reproductive potential of the adults obtained) against the density of stock which produced them, for a number of fish and invertebrate populations, gives a domed curve whose apex lies above the line representing replacement reproduction.

Resilience thinking: integrating resilience, adaptability and transformability
TL;DR: The capacity to transform at smaller scales draws on resilience from multiple scales, making use of crises as windows of opportunity for novelty and innovation, and recombining sources of experience and knowledge to navigate social-ecological transitions.
