Spatial diffusion in social networks

Collective behavior, such as massive adoption of new technologies is a complex social contagion phenomenon. Diffusion of innovation is known to have a strong spatial dependence but how social and collaboration networks contribute to that is less known. ANETI researchers investigate social media platforms, and data from patent documents and scientific publications to better understand this phenomenon.
