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 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 …

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 …

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 …

This paper explores the role of information transmission and misaligned interests across levels of government in explaining variation in the degree of decentralization across countries. Within a two-sided incomplete information principal-agent framework, it analyzes two alternative...
