Evolution of Equity Norms in Small-World Networks

Figure 7

Above, the average of the time of convergence to the equity norm, and below the corresponding boxplot, when the rewiring probability varies. Note that the results are computed with the simulation runs that ended in the equity norm a number that decreases with the rewiring probability (see Figure 5). The range separates two system behaviours: a first one characterized by high clustering networks in which the system always reaches the EQ regime in the simulation time, and a second one characterized by significantly lower values of clustering in which the system alternates between the EQ regime and the FR regime but in cases when the system reaches the EQ regime it takes it lower times of convergence.
