The paper examines individuals’ abilities to identify the highly central people in their social networks, where … centrality is defined by diffusion centrality (Banerjee, Chandrasekhar, Duflo, and Jackson, 2013), which characterizes a nodeâ …€™s influence in spreading information. It first show that diffusion centrality nests standard centrality measures – degree …

The main contribution of the model is that it replicates the three stages of the … product lifecycle as an outcome of a single elementary process. The model also replicates the S-shaped diffusion curve and the …
