Integrating Behavioral Theories in Agent-Based Models for Agricultural Drought Risk Assessments

Improving assessments of droughts risk for smallholder farmers requires a better understanding of the interaction between individual adaptation decisions and drought risk. Agent-based modeling is increasingly used to capture the interaction between individual decision-making and the environment. In...
