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...

Past innovation network structures are calculated using citation patterns across technology classes during 1975 …-1994. The interaction of this pre-existing network structure with patent growth in upstream technology fields has strong …

Recent studies indicate that firms often outsource standard and simple tasks, while keeping complex and important inputs inside their boundaries. This observation is difficult to reconcile with the property rights approach of the firm, which suggests that important components should be...

Interbank claims are a concern to regulators as they might facilitate the dissemination of defaults and generate spill-over effects. Building on a simple model, this paper introduces a measure of the spill-over effects that a bank generates when it defaults. The measure is based on an explicit...

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 …
