OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Abstract
In this seminar I’d like to present our work on building a generic agent-based model for fisheries management. First I’d like to focus on why an agent-based approach is appropriate for the problem (feedbacks, heterogeneity, availability of micro-data, non-stationarity and bounded rationality) and how to go from a complicated simulation model to policy suggestions. Second I will present our work and results in applying the model to a data-rich scenario (the US West Coast Groundfish Fishery). Finally I’d like to draw out lessons from our work that can be used for other (non-fisheries) agent-based models and computer simulations more generally, particularly regarding parameter estimation and implementing bounded rationality
