Procedural group identification
Dimitrov, Dinko; Sung, Shao Chin; Xu, Yongsheng - 2006
In this paper we axiomatically characterize two recursive procedures for defining a social group. The first procedure starts with the set of all individuals who are defined by everyone in the society as group members, while the starting point of the second procedure is the set of all individuals...

Bayesian social learning with local interactions
Guarino, Antonio; Ianni, Antonella - In: Games 1 (2010) 4, pp. 438-458
We study social learning in a large population of agents who only observe the actions taken by their neighbours. Agents have to choose one, out of two, reversible actions, each optimal in one, out of two, unknown states of the world. Each agent chooses rationally, on the basis of private...

Opinion dynamics and wisdom under conformity
Buechel, Berno; Hellmann, Tim; Kölßner, Stefan - 2014
We study a dynamic model of opinion formation in social networks. In our model, boundedly rational agents update opinions by averaging over their neighbors' expressed opinions, but may misrepresent their own opinion by conforming or counter-conforming with their neighbors. We show that an...
