Diffusion and protection across a random graph

Galeotti, A and Rogers, B W (2015) Diffusion and protection across a random graph. Network Science, 3 (3). pp. 361-376. ISSN 2050-1242 OPEN ACCESS

Abstract

We study the interplay between the diffusion of a harmful state in a network of contacts and the possibility of individual agents to undertake costly investment to protect themselves against infection. We characterize how equilibrium diffusion outcomes, such as immunization rate and total prevalence, respond to changes in the architecture of the network, and show that these responses depend on the details of the diffusion process.
