The paper provides a review of the incentives and barriers of a successful adoption of
innovative energy services (IES) in the energy market. Although IES can have different …

Despite the very positive–as measured by market surveys–attitude towards eco-innovations
and sustainability in general, the actual market penetration of green products and practices …

We present a short review based on the nonlinear q-voter model about problems and
methods raised within statistical physics of opinion formation (SPOOF). We describe …

The Trump phenomenon is argued to depart from current populist rise in Europe. According
to a model of opinion dynamics from sociophysics the machinery of Trump's amazing …

Political polarization is perceived as a threat to democracies. Using the Galam model of
opinion dynamics deployed in a five-dimensional parameter space, I show that polarization …

As one of the most widespread social dynamics, cooperative behavior is among the most

Understanding and quantifying polarization in social systems is important because of many
reasons. It could for instance help to avoid segregation and conflicts in the society or to …

Energy efficiency technologies (EETs) are crucial for saving energy and reducing carbon
dioxide emissions. However, the diffusion of EETs in small and medium-sized enterprises is …

We study a nonlinear q-voter model with stochastic noise, interpreted in the social context as
independence, on a duplex network. To study the role of the multilevelness in this model we …
