CREDIBILITY AND STRATEGIC LEARNING IN NETWORKS
研究固定有限连通网络中,知情方选择植入节点以影响其他代理人购买产品,理性消费者在等待与购买间决策,分析最优扩散成为完美贝叶斯均衡的网络条件。
We analyze a model of diffusion in a fixed, finite connected network. There is an interested party that knows the quality of the product being propagated and chooses an implant in the network to influence other agents to buy. Agents are either “innovators,” who adopt immediately, or rational. Rational consumers buy if buying instead of waiting maximizes expected utility. We consider the conditions on the network under which optimal diffusion of the good product with probability 1 is a perfect Bayes equilibrium.
