Interpersonal Channels Innovation Diffusion

;; INTERPERSONAL CHANNELS AND INNOVATION DIFFUSION - FIRST VERSION 11.06.2015
;; this model catch the opinion formation among economic agents toward an incremental innovation as influenced by the social interplay with other agents
;; agents are persuaded to adopt if their opinion is positive and exceeds a certin treshold
;; the main drivers of persuation are the opinion of the other agents the subject interact with
;; the model reproduce the web of relations among a real local productive system of agricultural firms 
;; the model is calibrated to obtain a percentage of adopters similar to the one observed in real data
;; the aim is to model policy actions able to make more speedy and effcient the innovation spread (in terms of positive opinion formation)

turtles-own 
[node-id ;;this is tha name of each turtle
  persuation ;; this indicates the level of persuation of each actors
  threshold ;; this is the minimun proportion of the agent neighbor necessary to persuade the agent towards the novelty
  opinion ;; this is the agent's level of acceptance towards the novelty
  edu ;; this is the agent's level of education
  novelty? ;; this is a boolean: false if the persuation is lower than the threshold and true if the persuation is equal or greather than the threshold ]
  influence ;; this is the influence exerted by neighbors on the agent as calculated with the procedure to pass-information
  susceptible? ;; this is a boolean: false if the agent is not suceptible to neighbor influence (its persuation does not variate during the process
               ;; true if the agent is suceptible to neighbor influence (its persuation variates during the process)
  n-strenght ;; is the amount of persuation exerted by the neighbors on the agent              
  injection ;; this is 1 if the agents is used as and injection point and o otherwise
  out-pressure ;; the pressure the agent exert on the others
  out-pressure2 ;; the pressure the agent exert on the others proof
