The Effects of Information and Interactions on Contagion Processes

Masson, Virginie; Angus, Simon - School of Economics, University of Adelaide - 2010

The network literature commonly neglects the importance of a clear distinction between interactions and information exchanges. Although convenient, this oversight is not innocuous and may lead to erroneous conclusions when looking at mechanisms such as contagion processes. We use simulation...
