agents are myopic best responders. We develop a new network measure, the contagion threshold, that determines when a p … show that a p-dominant action spreads to the whole network whenever the contagion threshold of that network is greater or … the long run. This result implies that targeted contagion, a network-wide diffusion of actions initiated by targeting …
