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...

In this paper, we study a two-country dynamic setup with environmental externalities and potential model mis-specification in relation to this public good. Under model uncertainty, robust policies help to correct the inefficiencies associated with free riding on public good provision, implying...

This paper investigates the robustness of determinants of economic growth in the presence of model uncertainty, parameter heterogeneity and outliers. The robust model averaging approach introduced in the paper uses a flexible and parsimonious mixture modeling that allows for fat-tailed errors...
