Boundedly rational opinion dynamics in social networks : does indegree matter?
Battiston, Pietro; Stanca, Luca M. - 2015
This paper investigates opinion dynamics and social influence in directed communication networks. We study the theoretical properties of a boundedly rational model of opinion formation in which individuals aggregate the information they receive from their neighbors by using weights that are a...

Fake news in social networks
Aymanns, Christoph; Foerster, Jakob; Georg, Co-Pierre - 2017 - This draft: August 21, 2017
We model the spread of news as a social learning game on a network. Agents can either endorse or oppose a claim made in … neighbors' past actions. Given these inputs, agents follow strategies derived via multi-agent deep reinforcement learning and …

Social interactions, mechanisms, and equilibrium : evidence from a model of study time and academic achievement
Conley, Timothy G.; Mehta, Nirav; Stinebrickner, Ralph; … - 2015
We develop and estimate an equilibrium model of study time choices of students on a social network. We examine how … characteristics appears important in explaining variation across students in study time and achievement, and determines the aggregate …

Social interactions, mechanisms, and equilibrium : evidence from a model of study time and academic achievement
Conley, Timothy G.; Mehta, Nirav; Stinebrickner, Ralph; … - 2018
We develop and estimate a model of student study time on a social network. The model is designed to exploit unique data collected in the Berea Panel Study. Study time data allow us to quantify an intuitive mechanism for academic social interactions: own study time may depend on friend study time...

Cognitive ability, character skills, and learning to play equilibrium : a level-k analysis
Gill, David; Prowse, Victoria L. - 2014
understand better how subjects with different cognitive abilities learn differently, we estimate a structural model of learning … ability to that of character skills, and find that both cognition and personality affect behavior and learning. More agreeable …

Can patience account for subnational differences in student achievement? : regional analysis with Facebook interests
Hanushek, Eric Alan; Kinne, Lavinia; Sancassani, Pietro; … - 2023
Decisions to invest in human capital depend on people's time preferences. We show that differences in patience are closely related to substantial subnational differences in educational achievement, leading to new perspectives on longstanding within-country disparities. We use social-media data -...
