Please feel free to request the source code of any of the models below. These computational models include my own published agent-based models (ABMs) and replications of prominent papers using computational models. Importantly, they are also interactive teaching tools to explore sociological theories, social processes, and emergent phenomena.
This is an ABM on diffusion dynamics by cultural holes brokers that I published in Sociological Methods & Research. [data and code][see article]
This is an ABM on the evolution of inter-organizational cooperation published with my co-authors in PLoS ONE. [data and code][see article]
My replication of DiMaggio and Garip (2011). This is an ABM on diffusion and intergroup inequality via homophily and network externalities.
My replication of Kitts (2006). This is an ABM on the emergence of antisocial norms via rival incentives and the effectiveness of peer influence.
My replication of Hanneman, Collins and Mordt (1995). This is a system-level model on state legitimacy and imperialist capitalism.
My replication of Macy (1991). This is a network critical mass ABM of collective action based on adaptive thresholds and stochastic learning.
My replication of Takahashi (2000). This is an ABM on the emergence of generalized exchange simulated through an evolutionary approach.
My replication of Munz, Hudea, Imad and Smith (2009). This is an ABM on the transmission of an infectious disease in a human population.
