-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 …

that the completely connected network is stable, although, its exact structure, and thus contagion implications, is …

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 …

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

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 …

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

We study a model of network formation and start-up financing with endogenous entrepreneurial type distribution. A hub … firm admits members to its network based on signals about entrepreneurs’ types. Network membership is observable, which … allows lenders to offer different interest rates to network and stand-alone entrepreneurs. We show that a network outcome can …

We develop and estimate a model of student study time on a social network. The model is designed to exploit unique data …: own study time may depend on friend study time in a heterogeneous manner. Social network data allow us to embed study time …

When workers send applications to vacancies they create a network. Frictions arise if workers do not know where other … workers apply to (this affects network creation) and firms do not know which candidates other firms consider (this affects … network clearing). We show that those frictions and the wage mechanism are in general not independent. Equilibria that exhibit …
