Innovation Diffusion among Case-based Decision-makers [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This paper analyzes a model of innovation diffusion with case-based individuals a la Gilboa and Schmeidler (1995,1996,1997), who decide whether to consume an incumbent or a new product based on their and their social neighbors' previous consumption experiences.

Cultural heterogeneity constrains diffusion of innovations [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory asserts that cultural similarity among individuals plays a crucial role in the acceptance of an innovation in a community. However, most studies on the diffusion of innovations have relied on epidemic-like models where the individuals have no preference on whom they interact with.

On the importance of power struggles in the diffusion of social innovations
European Public & Social Innovation Review, 2016 Diffusion of social innovations has become a key theme in social innovation research. In this paper I argue that the importance of power relations and opposition against social innovations should receive a more central position in this line of research ...

Networks and Identity Drive Geographic Properties of the Diffusion of Linguistic Innovation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Adoption of cultural innovation (e.g., music, beliefs, language) is often geographically correlated, with adopters largely residing within the boundaries of relatively few well-studied, socially significant areas. These cultural regions are often hypothesized to be the result of either (i) identity performance driving the adoption of cultural ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...
