title = "Sensitivity Analysis of an Agent-Based Model of Culture's Consequences for Trade",
abstract = "This paper describes the analysis of an agent-based model{\textquoteright}s sensitivity to changes in parameters that describe the agents{\textquoteright} cultural background, relational parameters, and parameters of the decision functions. As agent-based models may be very sensitive to small changes in parameter values, it is of the essence to know for which changes the model is most sensitive. A long-standing metamodeling-based approach of sensitivity analysis is applied to the agent-based model. The analysis is differentiated for homogeneous and heterogeneous agent populations. Intrinsic stochastic effects of the agent-based model are taken into account. The paper describes how an appropriate regression model has been selected and analyses the parameter{\textquoteright}s variance contributions in general and in specific cultural settings",
