Heterogeneous social preferences [PDF]
Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2008 Recent research has shown the usefulness of social preferences for explaining behavior in laboratory experiments. This paper demonstrates that models of social preferences are particularly powerful in explaining behavior if they are embedded in a setting of heterogeneous actors with heterogeneous (social) preferences. For this purpose a simple model is

Preferences, Homophily, and Social Learning [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 We study a sequential model of Bayesian social learning in networks in which agents have heterogeneous preferences, and neighbors tend to have similar preferences—a phenomenon known as homophily. We find that the density of network connections determines the impact of preference diversity and homophily on learning. When connections are sparse, diverse

Using crowdsourced imagery to detect cultural ecosystem services: a case study in South Wales, UK
Ecology and Society, 2016 Within ecological research and environmental management, there is currently a focus on demonstrating the links between human well-being and wildlife conservation. Within this framework, there is a clear interest in better understanding how and why people

Learning, Signaling, and Social Preferences in Public-Good Games
Ecology and Society, 2006 This study compares the empirical performance of a variety of learning models and theories of social preferences in the context of experimental games involving the provision of public goods. Parameters are estimated via maximum likelihood estimation.

Land, 2021 Many processes and phenomena that occur in the natural and social environment have a complex character, and the interdependencies between social and economic phenomena are most often analyzed by identifying the relationships between multiple factors that

Heterogeneous motives in the Trust Game: a Tale of two Roles
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Levels of trust and trustworthiness have important externalities for the society. But what exactly do these social concepts reflect? Building upon the argument that in typical real-life social exchanges people act simultaneously as both trustors and ...

Social preferences on networks [PDF]
Journal of Public EconomicsSocial preferences are a powerful determinant of human behavior. We study their behavioral implications within the context of a network game. A key feature of our game is the existence of multiple equilibria that widely differ in terms of their payoff distributions. Determining which equilibrium is most plausible is thus a key concern.

Control of preferences in social networks [PDF]
49th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2010 We consider the problem of deriving optimal advertising policies for the spread of innovations in a social network. We seek to compute policies that account for i) endogenous network influences, ii) the presence of competitive firms, that also wish to influence the network, and iii) possible uncertainties in the network model. Contrary to prior work in

Social Preferences and Competition [PDF]
, 2009 There is a general presumption that social preferences can be ignored if markets are competitive. Market experiments (Smith 1962) and recent theoretical results (Dufwenberg et al.
