Adjustment and Social Choice [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2003 We discuss the influence of information contagion on the dynamics of choices in social networks of heterogeneous buyers. Starting from an inhomogeneous cellular automata model of buyers dynamics, we show that when agents try to adjust their reservation price, the tatonement process does not converge to equilibrium at some intermediate market share and ...

Mediterranean Journal of MathematicsAbstract The problem of finding a social choice function in a given space of preferences has been dominated by Arrow’s and Chichilnisky’s Impossibility Theorems. Based on previous work by Carrasquel, Lupton and Oprea, in this paper, we use tools from Algebraic Topology to introduce a notion of higher social choice complexity that determines ...
