Abstract

This paper investigates Barabási–Albert (BA) and Erdős-Rényi model and preferential attachment in different settings: social choice and social distance, news veracity and networks, Prospect theory with social choice, and Wardrop equilibrium with Braess paradox. News veracity is higher in Erdős-Rényi graph vs Barabási–Albert (BA), in the Erdős-Rényi graph spread of misinformation is higher than in the model with hubs (influential nodes). In the average social distance and education level model there is higher news veracity between most educated individuals (PhD’s) more when two nodes have less than highest education. Probability of news being true (news veracity) is lowest for PhD’s but gaslighting (probability of perception of being gaslighted) is highest. With a degree centrality included nodes (individuals) with lower level of education perceive higher new veracity. Price of Anarchy (PoA) is higher in Erdős-Rényi (ER) versus Barabási–Albert graph. With Prospect theory in news veracity network gain and loss lines are further way on the left from reference point, with a letter being more to left. Congestion in the market for news makes more and more agents further away from equilibrium state.
