Can #socialsolidarity prevent agro-pastoral collapse? Paul Chapron & colleagues co-designed an #ABM with Senegalese farmers to find out.
Spoiler: remove parcel lending & food sharing, and the system collapses #CompanionModeling #participatory #simulation

Delighted to learn that I have been elected Fellow at the Academy of Social Sciences in the UK. I am humbled by this recognition of my work on the interaction of law and the social sciences, spanning economics, sociology, and complexity science, across a range of legal fields, including competition law, EU law, and economic and social regulation : ucl.ac.uk/news/2026/mar/…

Real-world #Policy problems are hard to capture with traditional models, but a #generative approach may change the game. GPLab combines #LLMs and #ABM to advance #computationalsocialscience for public decision support.

We are mourning the loss of Dr. Jiaqi Ge, a valued Editorial Board member and a kind, constructive voice in our community. Her presence and expertise will be greatly missed by all of us at JASSS.

How do you #model what can’t be measured?
This study demonstrates how #ParticipatoryModeling integrates local knowledge and #Calibration to capture hidden social dynamics in complex socio-ecological systems.

How do institutions and social norms affect tax payment?
#GL_Pasin #A_Szekely @squazzoni find that in low-quality institutions contexts, social norms can trigger vicious cycles of evasion—even when evasion is socially disapproved!!

Recent study in @Nature showing that the application of #AI tools in #research increases individual scientist productivity, but may reduce exploration and progress by locking in scientists in more easily, already known, datafied areas! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy to see this #experimental paper on #tax behaviour in @ESR_news. With a nationally representative survey and vignette experiment and an online behavioural exp in Italy, we show that social norms shape tax payments but also that context-specific institutional factors matter!

Check out the latest article by Gianluca Pasin @CNRsocial_ former @LaStatale PhD student, Aron Szekely from @ucl and @squazzoni where they examine the role of social norms on #tax #behavior! academic.oup.com/esr/advance-ar…

#ABM thrives but fragmented code and reinvented wheels slow progress. We introduce #AGENTBLOCKS, an open #community #platform that shares & improves #ReusableBuildingBlocks to support #Standardization in ABM and beyond.

Structural calibration of ABMs is often overlooked, yet it can dramatically shape model outcomes. We address this by introducing an innovative #InverseModelling #method to #explore & #calibrate #ABM #structures

Who should be traced first? An empirically calibrated #ABM shows that #ContactTracing works best when prioritizing influential spreaders—even if identified only via simple proxies like #Age and #HouseholdSize.
