Hi Nina,
Very impressive performance, I enjoyed your talk very much!
Do you have an example of ABM based on TOPB? Are you more often working on theoretical models, or do you also implement empirical-based ABMs making direct use of human decision-making theories?
Best regards,

Hi Christophe,
thanks for your feedback! One example ABM based on the TOPB is described in:
Schwarz, N., Ernst, A., 2009. Agent-based modeling of the diffusion of environmental innovations - An empirical approach. Technol. Forecast. Soc. Change 76, 497–511. doi:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.techfore.2008.03.024
This ABM is based on an empirical survey to find the parameters needed for the TOPB. At the moment, I am more frequently working with theoretical models, but this might change again in the future!
Kind regards,
Nina
