Diffusion of two brands in competition: cross-brand effect

Social and Information Networks 2015-06-19 v1 Physics and Society

Abstract

We study the equilibrium points of a system of equations corresponding to a Bass based model that describes the diffusion of two brands in competition. To increase the understanding of the effects of the cross-brand parameters, we perform a sensitivity analysis. Finally, we show a comparison with an agent-based model inspired in the Potts model. Conclusions include that both models give the same diffusion curves only when the cross coeficients are not null.
