Abstract
We consider a model of conformity that permits a non-conformist
equilibrium and multiple conformist equilibria. Agents are assumed
to behave according to a best reply learning dynamic. We detail the
conditions under which a social norm and conformity emerge. The
emergence of conformity depends on the distribution of intrinsic preferences,
the relative costs and benefits of conformity and the topology
of agent interaction.
