This spreadsheet holds the dataset of a review of 71 ABMs regarding household energy behavior. 

It accompanies the submission of the article to the special issue of Frontiers Journal: 
'The Psychology of Simulated Social Behavior: From Computational Agents to Worldwide Collective Action' 

Title of submitted the article: 
Bridging behavioral theory and household energy decisions - enhancing agent-based models with behavioral analysis

The aim of this research is to investigate if the method of behavioral analysis (BA) is applied for ABMs that regard household energy decisions, 
and if this BA-practice improves the fit of behavioral determinants with simulated energy behavior.

Articles were identified by applying the search string below in the Scopus database. Search string was applied at March 1, 2024. 
Articles were included when
(a) an ABM is developed and described
(b) a household decision was likely to be studied
(c) the energy transition was the main focus of the household decision 
(d) the abstract was written in English. 

Search string. 
TITLE-ABS (ABM OR “agent-based modeling” OR “agent-based modelling”) 
AND (“energy efficiency” OR “energy technology”) 
AND (“household” OR “residential” OR “consumer”)

The spreadsheets holds the structural coding results of the 71 articles under review.
