industrial revolution, followed by decreasing relative inequality. Knowledge diffusion through a Small World network explains the …We present a multi-country theory of economic growth in which countries are connected by a network of mutual knowledge … knowledge throughout the world explains a period of increasing world inequality after the take-off of the forerunners of the …

Maintaining the security of critical infrastructure networks is vital for a modern economy. This paper examines a game …-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 …

linked fields. Our analysis uses 1.8 million U.S. patents and their citation properties to map the innovation network and its … strength. 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 …

We study the formation of networks in environments where agents derive benefits from other agents directly linked to … networks with undirected links (e.g. epidemics, underground resistance organizations, trade networks) where we find that stable … networks are comprised of completely connected disjoint subnetworks. Then, we consider networks with directed links and we find …

review is on studies that use network analysis paying special attention to those that apply complex analysis techniques …

This paper studies the formation of self-enforcing global environmental agreements in a world economy with …

networks? We derive structural equations for value added trade flows, the domestic value added content of exports (DVA) and the … value added exports to exports (VAX) ratio, as well as model-based measures for production networks from a multi …-12% of the decrease in the world DVA ratio as observed between 2000-2007. For China, the counterfactual experiment robustly …

Sanctions restrict cross-border interactions and, therefore, not only put political and economic pressure on the target … country, but they also adversely affect the sender country. This paper examines the effect of financial sanctions on the … sanctions to the sender country are limited …
