| Research Type | Theoretical | In this paper, we introduce and examine two new models for competitive contagion in networks... For a general class of stochastic dynamics driving the local adoption process, we derive upper bounds on (1) the (pure strategy) Price of Anarchy (Po A)... and (2) the Budget Multiplier... We also introduce a model in which budgeting decisions are endogenous... In sharp contrast to the results of Goyal and Kearns, we show that for almost any local adoption dynamics, there exists a family of graphs for which the Po A and Budget Multiplier are unbounded. |
