Abstract

We have presented a numerical model of a collective opinion formation procedure to explain political phenomena such as two-party and multi-party systems in politics, political unrest, military coup d'etats and netizen revolutions. Nonlinear interaction with binary and independent decision making processes can yield various collective behaviors or collective political opinions. Statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics may provide useful tools to study various socio-political dynamics.

Data as Commodity: a Game-Theoretic Principle for Information Pricing

Data is the central commodity of the digital economy. Unlike physical goods, data exhibits properties that defy the standard theory of supply and demand: it is non-rival (the same dataset can be sold to multiple buyers without degradation), it is replicable at near-zero cost, and it is traded under heterogeneous licensing rules that restrict lawful use. Determining a new pricing principle to attach a fair price tag to datasets is therefore a difficult but central problem. We propose a game-theoretic framework in which the value of a data string emerges from strategic competition among $N$ players betting on a stochastic process with asymmetric information about past outcomes. A better-informed player may either exploit her advantage or sell part of her dataset to less informed competitors. By analytically deriving the Nash equilibrium, we identify the price range for a mutually beneficial trade. The model reveals market dynamics that depart from textbook intuition: informed players may compete or jointly exploit the least informed; data can be shared even at zero price without reducing the seller`s utility; rivalry among well-informed players can benefit uninformed ones; and trades infeasible in small markets can be viable in larger ones. These findings establish a theoretical foundation for the pricing of intangible goods in interacting digital markets, which are in need of robust valuation principles.

Conviction, persuasiveness, and cross-cutting exposure: a Bayesian model of voting behaviour in online political debates

Online debate platforms offer a window into whether exposure to diverse crowds changes how people reason: they capture political preferences, the perceived quality of arguments, and the ideological diversity of the audience. Drawing on theories of deliberative democracy and cross-cutting exposure, I develop a Bayesian logistic regression model that decomposes voting behaviour in online debates into three components: conviction (agreement between a user's prior beliefs and a debate's stance), persuasiveness (perceived argument quality), and cross-cutting exposure (the ideological diversity of a debate's prior voters). I apply this framework to the DDO dataset: approximately 341k votes across 78k debates on 48 socio-political topics. As the platform provides no predefined topic labels, I infer topic and stance from debate text using large language models. I test whether a more ideologically diverse prior audience weakens a voter's conviction, a central claim from the cross-cutting exposure literature. Persuasiveness is the strongest and most consistent predictor of vote choice, never outweighed by conviction, though conviction remains a credible predictor on several topics tied to personal freedoms. Cross-cutting exposure moderates conviction on 4 of 47 topics, though these results are sensitive to topic classification and sparse coverage, with implications for the design of deliberative platforms.

Unified framework for measuring segregation resolves how social and geographical space jointly shape connections

Our understanding of how geographical and social segregation interact remains limited, as relatively few studies investigate them jointly, and existing approaches often lack a framework distinguishing geographical, social, and total segregation. Additionally, large-scale individually resolved geo-social network data are rarely publicly available. We address both. Conceptually, we develop a unified framework that measures segregation in geosocial networks by comparing network models to appropriate null models and recovers the Theil index, dissimilarity index, and network modularity as special cases. Empirically, we turn to privacy-preserving aggregated relational data (ARD): we combine the Facebook Social Connectedness Index for the US with US Census and Pew data, and introduce an ARD-compatible joint geosocial intervening-opportunities model to infer link probabilities between region--group cell pairs. Applying our segregation framework, we find that social segregation predominates over geographical segregation, with notable separation for White--Black, college-degree--no-degree, and high-income--low/middle-income across both segregation types. We find increasing social homophily with geographical distance and group-specific geographical connectivity patterns, suggesting that geographical segregation may affect cross-group connectivity not only directly but also by amplifying social segregation.
