Abstract

The work aims at addressing in a unified framework a variety environmental/contextual factors (geographical, campaign- and network-related). In doing so, theoretical and empirical relation between these various levels are investigated, as well as responses by which individuals can react to environmental stimuli. From the methodological side, hypotheses of the work are tested by means of multilevel regression models and agent-based simulations.
