Foundational sequential social learning model of misinformation spread and fact-checking. Introduces the framework for analyzing how agents' decisions cascade through a network and how fact-checking affects collective outcomes.
This study uses a model to show how misinformation spreads through social networks and how fact-checking can change the outcome. It looks at how individual decisions ripple through a group, helping us understand the dynamics of fake news and the impact of correcting it.
