Noise reduction in coarse bifurcation analysis of stochastic agent-based models: an example of consumer lock-in

We investigate coarse equilibrium states of a fine-scale, stochastic agent-based model of consumer lock-in in a duopolistic market. In the model, agents decide on their next purchase based on a combination of their personal preference and their neighbours' opinions. For agents with independent...
