The novelty of our model is to combine models of collective action on networks with models of social learning. Agents … are connected according to an undirected graph, the social network, and have the choice between two actions: either to … network. (2) Average inclination governs collective adoption behavior. (3) Initial inclinations determine the critical mass of …

We report the findings of experiments designed to study how people learn in network games. Network games offer new … opportunities to identify learning rules, since on networks (compared to, e.g., random matching) more rules differ in terms of their … find that learning depends on network position. Participants in more complex environments (with more network neighbors …

This paper studies adaptive learning in the class of weighted network games. This class of games includes applications … like research and development within interlinked firms, crime within social networks, the economics of pollution, and … defense expenditures within allied nations. We show that for every weighted network game, the set of pure Nash equilibria is …

social network - can influence our choices. These choices in turn influence the generation of new information and shape … future choices. These considerations motivate a rich research programme on how social networks shape individual and …

The paper analyzes a dynamic model of rational strategic learning in a network. It complements existing literature by … network. We show that the delay in information transmission caused by incomplete network structures may induce players to … increase own experimentation efforts. As a consequence a complete network can fail to be optimal even if there are no costs for …

We provide an overview and synthesis of the literature on how social networks influence behaviors, with a focus on … diffusion. We discuss some highlights from the empirical literature on the impact of networks on behaviors and diffusion. We … also discuss some of the more prominent models of network interactions, including recent advances regarding interdependent …
