Under truthful communication, we show that asymptotic learning occurs if (and under … response, it is an equilibrium when the communication network induces asymptotic learning. Moreover, we contrast equilibrium …) ensure the emergence of communication networks that lead to asymptotic learning. Our result shows that societies with too …

We study social learning in a social network setting where agents receive independent noisy signals about the truth … such that agents do not update their belief in exactly the same way at every point in time. We show that even if the social …

This paper investigates opinion dynamics and social influence in directed communication networks. We study the … take into account the structure of their communication network, although only to a limited extent. …

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 …

We investigate the role of conflicting interests in a boundedly rational model of belief dynamics. Individuals have … noisy message containing information about his belief, the receiver interprets the sent message and updates her belief by … adopting the average of the interpretation and her pre-meeting belief. First, we establish that persuasion bias implies …

In markets with search frictions, consumers can acquire information about goods either through costly search or from … friends via word-of-mouth (WOM) communication. How do sellers’ market power react to a very large increase in the number of …
