Relating Network Structure to Diffusion Properties through Stochastic Dominance

Jackson, Matthew O.; Rogers, Brian W. - In: The B.E. Journal of Theoretical Economics 7 (2007) 1

We examine the spread of a disease or behavior through a social network. In particular, we analyze how infection rates depend on the distribution of degrees (numbers of links) among the nodes in the network. We introduce new techniques using first- and second order stochastic dominance...

Imitating the Most Successful Neighbor in Social Networks

Tsakas, Nikolas - In: Review of Network Economics 12 (2014) 4, pp. 403-435

Abstract We study a model of observational learning in a set of agents who are connected through a social network. The agents face identical decision problems under uncertainty and update their choices myopically, imitating the choice of their most successful neighbor. We show that in finite...
