Voter-like Dynamics with Conflicting Preferences on Modular Networks
Entropy, 2023 Two of the main factors shaping an individual’s opinion are social coordination and personal preferences, or personal biases. To understand the role of those and that of the topology of the network of interactions, we study an extension of the voter ...

Agent-Based Models as “Interested Amateurs”
Land, 2015 This paper proposes the use of agent-based models (ABMs) as “interested amateurs” in policy making, and uses the example of the SWAP model of soil and water conservation adoption to demonstrate the potential of this approach.

The dual problems of coordination and anti-coordination on random bipartite graphs
New Journal of Physics, 2021 In some scenarios (‘anti-coordination games’), individuals are better off choosing different actions than their neighbors while in other scenarios (‘coordination games’), it is beneficial for individuals to choose the same strategy as their neighbors ...
