We develop a spatial model of energy exploitation where energy sources are differentiated by their geographic location … and energy density. The spatial setting creates a scaling law that magnifies the importance of differences across energy … plays must first boom and then bust. For both renewable and non-renewable energy sources we link the size of exploitation …

We explore network effects on generosity for different network dimensions. To this end we elicit multiple network … matters for friendship ties but that structural network variables are important in all network dimensions. Importantly, these … effects are not invariant across different network dimensions. We also find that individual characteristics are unrelated with …

-theoretic model of attack and defense of a network in which the defender's objective is to maintain network connectivity and the … attacker's objective is to destroy a set of nodes that disconnects the network. The conflict at each node is modeled as a … which a single random [minimal] set of nodes that disconnects the network is attacked …

We investigate the trade-off between the risk-sharing gains enjoyed by more interconnected firms and the costs resulting from an increased risk exposure. We find that when the shock distribution displays “fat” tails, extreme segmentation into small components is optimal, while minimal...

We present a network model of the interbank market in which optimizing risk averse banks lend to each other and invest … sale externalities. The resulting network configurations exhibits a core-periphery structure, dis-assortative behavior and … low clustering coefficient. We measure systemic importance by means of network centrality and input-output metrics and the …

This paper compares the cyclical properties of fiscal policies across the 12 original eurozone countries and the future members from Central and Eastern Europe. For the sample period 1995-2005, the fiscal balance exhibits less inertia and is more counter-cyclical in Central and Eastern European...
