we investigate how the number of communities in a network and connectivity between them affects the perceived opinion …. Moreover, a network fragmented into more, smaller communities seems to provide more "safe spaces" for a minority opinion to …

We report the findings of experiments designed to study how people learn in network games. Network games offer new … find that learning depends on network position. Participants in more complex environments (with more network neighbors …) tend to resort to simpler rules compared to those with only one network neighbor. …

BoltzmannGibbs distribution can be directly applied, without considering the underlying social network structure more seriously, even … though the social network structure is an important factor of social interaction. Therefore, this paper proposes two kinds of … BoltzmannGibbs machine, and the other one belongs to microscopic modeling in that it is augmented by the network-based ant machine …

This paper studies a game of attack and interception in a network, where a single attacker chooses a target and a path … characterize equilibrium attack paths and attack distributions as a function of the underlying network and target values. We show …

This paper proposes a tractable model that allows us to analyze how agents' perception of relationships with others determines the structures of networks. In our model, agents are endowed with their own multidimensional characteristics and their payoffs depend on the social distance between...

This paper considers a population of agents that are engaged in a listening network. The agents wish to match their … neighbors in the network. I derive a closed expression for the (interim) social welfare loss that depends on the initial … information structure and on the possible pieces of information that can be gathered under the network. Then, I explore how …

I present a model of observational learning with payoff interdependence. Agents, ordered in a sequence, receive private signals about an uncertain state of the world and sample previous actions. Unlike in standard models of observational learning, an agent's payoff depends both on the state and...
