Network Segregation
This model allows you to simulate homophilic and heterophilic dynamics in directed and undirected Erdős–Rényi random networks. If agents find that their "friends" do not satisfy their homophilic or heterophilic preferences, then they cut ties and find new friends. The upshot is to observe how segregation may emerge under minor homophilic preferences, as well as to observe the interaction between homophily and heterophily.
Contagion diffusion on Networks
This model generates Erdős–Rényi random networks, as well as Barabási–Albert Preferential Attachment networks. On that, you are allowed to impose a SIR Epidemiological model in order to study the effect of contagion over different networks.
Empathy and Compassion
Does Love trump Hate? This short model attempts to provide an answer to the guiding question by providing a very simple model for human interaction among different groups, and for empathic reactions and adjustments. The upshot is to study the conditions in which a population with different groups of people may overcome antipathy given some starting conditions. The model, although very simplistic, has the advantage of being very simple. This model has two groups, interacting and this one has four. Read the description for elaboration.
Bias and information exchange in scientific inquiry
This model studies the effect of information sharing when agents are biased, and it shows that given a set of biased agents, information sharing washes the biases out. Read the description for more information.
Reference coalitions and academic isolation
The purpose of this model is to study the strategic dimensions of one way of assigning reputation in academic contexts: references. See the description for more details.
