Modularity has recently become an important concept in economics and management science alike (Ulrich 1995; Baldwin and … Clark 2000). However, it is not always clear what is meant by modularity as formal treatments are rare. The aim of this … paper is threefold. First, we want to provide a rigorous treatment of modularity. To this end we use Kauffman"s (1993) NK …

Language competition with bilinguals in social networks

Castelló, Xavier; Eguíluz, Víctor M.; Miguel, Maxi San - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2006

Several models have been proposed to study the dynamics of competition between languages. Among them, and starting from the dynamics of endangered languages, recent approaches have addressed the issue of bilingualism. Along these lines we consider the dynamics of language use, allowing for...

Social interaction, herd behaviour and the formation of agent expectations

Bowden, Mark; McDonald, Stuart - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2006

Survey data on agent expectations appear to experience inertia, remaining relatively stable for protracted periods punctuated with the occasional structural shift initiated by exogenous changes. The data is also characterised with an underlying level of volatility which varies over time. This...

An agent-based model of directed advertising on a social network

Castaldi, C.; Alkemade, F. - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2004

Network economics holds the view that individual actions and, in turn aggregate outcomes, are mainly determined by the interaction structure between heterogeneous economic agents. In this paper we study the diffusion of an innovation over a social network. More specifically, we study whether...
