A Computational Turn in Policy Process Studies: Coevolving Network Dynamics of Policy Change

Figure 3

Behavior of baseline model: (a) cumulative PC of different actors over time, (b) PC over time with two highlighted individuals, and (c) opinion dynamics with (grey) and without (colored) focusing event. The focusing event started at time-step 1000 and lasted for 200 steps. During which all agents became more active and the convergence parameter was increased from 0.1 to 0.2. See the supplementary material for all model parameters of this simulation.
