a model of diffusion where the individualsʼ behavior is the result of a strategic choice. We study a simple coordination …. Finally we look at how can firms use social networks to promote their goals with limited information. Our results differ … diffusion to spread, when the network is highly connected, the diffusion is also limited by high-degree nodes which are very …

This paper considers a model of observational learning in social networks. Every period, the agents observe the actions … state, i.e. where every agent chooses the same action. Subsequently, we extend our analysis to infinitely large networks and …

We survey the literatures on the economic consequences of the structure of social networks. We develop a taxonomy of … 'macro' and 'micro' characteristics of social inter-action networks and discuss both the theoretical and empirical findings … concerning the role of those characteristics in determining learning, diffusion, decisions, and resulting behaviors. We also …

The diffusion approach of concentration mapping is used to discover communities in the directional friendship network … diffusion of a virtual substance immersed in such a network as in a multi-dimensional porous system. By analyzing concentration … profiles at intermediate stage of the diffusion process the well-interconnected cliques of users can be identified as nodes …

. However, as in much of sub-Saharan Africa, the adoption and diffusion of such technologies has been slow. We use data from the … fertiliser. We use the structure of spatial networks of farmers and panel data to identify these influences and find that while …

We examine how participation in a microfinance program diffuses through social networks. We collected detailed … have higher eigenvector centrality. We estimate structural models of diffusion that allow us to (i) determine the relative …

on percolation dynamics. The model combines the concept of increasing returns to adoption with information diffusion … among consumers within social networks. The main contribution of the model is that it replicates the three stages of the … product lifecycle as an outcome of a single elementary process. The model also replicates the S-shaped diffusion curve and the …

-Based Models of Diffusion”. Design/methodology/approach Evidence on the nature of word of mouth was reviewed and related to the … assumptions used in agent-based models of diffusion. Originality/value The study refers to previously published work.  …

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to integrate existing theoretical explanations for innovation diffusion across … historical case analysis were used to support an integrative model. Findings – Innovation diffusion is affected by technological …
