TITLE: Sequential Choice and Self-Reinforcing Rankings

ABSTRACT: People’s behavior is informed and influenced by other people’s choices. In many online technologies, for instance, aggregate information about the choices of other individuals is encoded in the form of rankings. Such rankings, in turn, have a direct impact on people’s future choices. What are the long-term dynamics of these rankings, and do the dynamics depend on specific assumptions about people’s behavior? In this paper, we propose a general framework for modeling the dynamics in settings where information about peoples’ past choices is recorded as a ranking and influences future choices. We find a general condition for convergence, show that it is satisfied by many important models in economics and beyond, and characterize the possible limits in terms of the choice probabilities.

SHORT BIO: Pantelis Pipergias Analytis (https://www.sdu.dk/en/forskning/forskningsenheder/samf/sod/simple-employee-list-sod/group-members/pantelis-analytis ) is an Associate Professor at the Department of Business and Management and senior fellow at the Danish Institute of Advanced Study. In his research, Pantelis develops mathematical and computational models of individual and collective behavior and uses experiments, big-data and large-scale simulations to assess their descriptive and prescriptive value. Pantelis has studied economics at the University of Athens, cognitive science at EHESS in Paris and received his PhD in psychology from Humboldt University in Berlin. Before joining the University of Southern Denmark, he worked as a predoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin and as a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer and Information Science departments at Cornell University in Ithaca.
