Economic analysis of social interactions

by Charles F. Manski - JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES , 2000
"... Economists have long been ambivalent about whether the discipline should focus on the analysis of markets or should be concerned with social interactions more generally. Recently the discipline has sought to broaden its scope while maintaining the rigor of modern economic analysis. Major theoretical ..."

Discrete Choice with Social Interactions

by William A. Brock, Steven N. Durlauf - , 2000
"... This paper provides an analysis of aggregate behavioral outcomes when individual utility exhibits social interaction effects. We study generalized logistic models of individual choice which incorporate terms reflecting the desire of individuals to conform to the behavior of others in an environment ..."

A Survey of Socially Interactive Robots

by Terrence Fong, Illah Nourbakhsh, Kerstin Dautenhahn , 2002
"... This paper reviews "socially interactive robots": robots for which social human-robot interaction is important. We begin by discussing the context for socially interactive robots, emphasizing the relationship to other research fields and the di#erent forms of "social robots". We ..."

Social Interactions, Local Spillovers and Unemployment

by Giorgio Topa - REVIEW OF ECONOMIC STUDIES , 2001
"... I analyse a model that explicitly incorporates local interactions and allows agents to exchange information about job openings within their social networks. Agents are more likely to be employed if their social contacts are also employed. The model generates a stationary distribution of unemployment ..."

Measuring social interactions

by Edward L. Glaeser, José A. Scheinkman , 1999
"... This paper presents on overview of the economics that lies behind social interaction models and briefly discusses the empirical approaches to social interactions. We present a simple model with local interactions, similar to Glaeser, Sacerdote and Scheinkman (1996) but using a continuous action spac ..."

The Role of Information and Social Interactions in Retirement Plan Decisions: Evidence From a Randomized Experiment

by Esther Duflo, Emmanuel Saez , 2002
"... This paper analyzes a randomized experiment to shed light on the role of information and social interactions in employees’ decisions to enroll in a Tax Deferred Account (TDA) retirement plan within a large university. The experiment encouraged a random sample of employees in a subset of department ..."

Facial expression and emotion

by Dacher Keltner, Cameron Anderson - American Psychologist , 1993
"... In this article, we review diverse studies of the antecedents, facial display, and social consequences of embarrassment. These studies indicate that embarrassment serves an appeasement function, reconciling social relations when they have gone awry. We then speculate about how embarrassment is elabo ..."

is elaborated into more complex social interactions, such as teasing and flirtation. We conclude by raising questions about the blush and embarrassment that await empirical consideration.

The genetical evolution of social behaviour

by W D Hamilton - I. J. Theor. Biol. , 1964
"... A genetical mathematical model is described which allows for interactions between relatives on one another's fitness. Making use of Wright's Coefficient of Relationship as the measure of the proportion of replica genes in a relative, a quantity is found which incorporates the maximizing p ..."

The link-prediction problem for social networks

by David Liben-nowell, Jon Kleinberg - J. AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY , 2007
"... Given a snapshot of a social network, can we infer which new interactions among its members are likely to occur in the near future? We formalize this question as the link-prediction problem, and we develop approaches to link prediction based on measures for analyzing the “proximity” of nodes in a ne ..."

Social force model for pedestrian dynamics

by Dirk Helbing, Péter Molnár - Physical Review E , 1995
"... It is suggested that the motion of pedestrians can be described as if they would be subject to ‘social forces’. These ‘forces ’ are not directly exerted by the pedestrians ’ personal environment, but they are a measure for the internal motivations of the individuals to perform certain actions (movem ..."

The resulting equations of motion are nonlinearly coupled Langevin equations. Computer simulations of crowds of interacting pedestrians show that the social force
