Diffusion of behavior in network games orchestrated by social learning

Huang, Jiaping; Koster, Maurice; Lindner, Ines - 2013

The novelty of our model is to combine models of collective action on networks with models of social learning. Agents are connected according to an undirected graph, the social network, and have the choice between two actions: either to adopt a new behavior or technology or stay with the default...

THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DIFFUSION OF STYLISTIC INNOVATIONS IN MATERIAL CULTURE

SCHOLNICK, JONATHAN B. - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 15 (2012) 01, pp. 1150010-1

Many explanations for the sigmoid or S-shaped curves that characterize the diffusion of innovations through time have … underlying social forces that structure diffusion through both space and time. Using historic New England gravestones and their … among consumers can generate both wave-like diffusion patterns through space and lead to the persistence of cultural …

DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF A NONLINEAR SINGLE SPECIES DIFFUSIVE SYSTEM

CHEN, FENGDE; CHEN, XIAOXING; SHI, JINLIN - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 08 (2005) 04, pp. 399-417

In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear single species diffusive system \begin{eqnarray*} \dot{x}_i(t)&=& x_i(t)\left(b_i(t)-\sum_{k=1}^{l_i}a_{ik}(t)(x_i(t))^{\beta_{ik}}\right)\\ && +\,\sum_{j=1}^{n}D_{ij}(t)(x_j(t)-x_i(t)),\quad (i,j=1,2,\ldots,n), \end{eqnarray*} where bi(t),...

DO LANGUAGE CHANGE RATES DEPEND ON POPULATION SIZE?

WICHMANN, SØREN; STAUFFER, DIETRICH; SCHULZE, CHRISTIAN; … - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 11 (2008) 03, pp. 357-369

An earlier study [24] concluded, based on computer simulations and some inferences from empirical data, that languages will change the more slowly the larger the population gets. We replicate this study using a more complete language model for simulations (the Schulze model combined with a...

BETTER BEING THIRD THAN SECOND IN A SEARCH FOR A MAJORITY OPINION

STAUFFER, DIETRICH - In: Advances in Complex Systems (ACS) 05 (2002) 01, pp. 97-100

Monte Carlo simulations of a Sznajd model show that if a near-consensus is formed out of four initially equally widespread opinions, the one which at intermediate times is second in the number of adherents usually loses out against the third-placed opinion.

Cycles and multiple equilibria in the market for durable lemons

Janssen, Maarten C. W.; Karamychev, Vladimir A. - 2000

We investigate the nature of market failure in a dynamic version of Akerlof (1970) where identical cohorts of a durable good enter the market over time. In the dynamic model, equilibria with qualitatively different properties emerge. Typically, in equilibria of the dynamic model, sellers with...

Continuous time trading in markets with adverse selection

Janssen, Maarten C. W.; Karamychev, Vladimir A. - 2000

We investigate the nature of the adverse selection problem in a market for adurable goodwhere trading and entry of new buyers and sellers takes place in continuoustime. In thecontinuous time model equilibria with properties that are qualitativelydifferent from thestatic equilibria, emerge....
