This two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund $191,630 to the University of California, Los Angeles to investigate how technological progress is impacted by network connections between individuals. Specifically, the university researchers will develop an equilibrium model to analyze the interconnection between technological diffusion and discovery within social networks. The model will consider how incentives for original discovery are affected by the potential for learning from others. It will be used to understand how policy changes influence societal technological progress. The project aims to provide insights into initial experimentation, subsequent information spread, and welfare outcomes based on network density, structure, and the directionality of links. Findings will further understanding of learning dynamics and information aggregation in networks of forward-looking agents.
