The authors model agents making irreversible choices from noisy private evidence while observing neighbors’ decisions and non-decisions. Agents update beliefs from the probability of observed states, rather than an arbitrarily chosen influence strength. In simulated three-agent cliques, social exchange raises the chance all decide correctly and shortens time until all decide, with larger effects for less informative evidence; these are model results.
