To obtain tractable results with generic implications for social structure, we use a mean-field approximation approach rather than specifying the exact structure of social network. Analytical conditions for the existence and local stability of equilibria of price dynamics are established and validated through numerical simulations. Our analysis shows that social influence increases the dimens... |
