The diffusion of energy technologies is key for supporting the energy transition. While social influence and peer effects have been extensively studied on the demand side and found to impact adoption, less focus has been given to the role of information ne ...
Within the framework of a simple model for social influence, the Taylor model, we analytically investigate the role of stubborn agents in the overall opinion dynamics of networked systems. Similar to zealots, stubborn agents are biased towards a certain op ...
We consider a distributed social learning problem where a network of agents is interested in selecting one among a finite number of hypotheses. The data collected by the agents might be heterogeneous, meaning that different sub-networks might observe data ...
Information diffusion is usually modeled as a process in which immutable pieces of information propagate over a network. In reality, however, messages are not immutable, but may be morphed with every step, potentially entailing large cumulative distortions ...
The emergence of social media has created new ways to publish scientific work, foster collaboration, and build professional connections in the research community. The rich data collected in social media platforms has provided new opportunities for assessin ...
Employment interviews are relevant scenarios for the study of social interaction. In this setting, social skills play an important role, even though the interactions between potential employers and candidates are often limited. One fundamental aspect of so ...
