Heidergott, Bernd; Huang, Jiaping; Lindner, Ines - 2018
We study social learning in a social network setting where agents receive independent noisy signals about the truth. Agents naïvely update beliefs by repeatedly taking weighted averages of neighbors' opinions. The weights are fixed in the sense of representing average frequency and intensity of...

The impact of rail transport on real estate prices : an empirical analysis of the Dutch housing market
Debrezion, Ghebreegziabiher; Pels, Eric; Rietveld, Piet - 2006
A hedonic pricing model is estimated to analyse the impact of railways on house prices in terms of distance to railway station, frequency of railway services and distance to the railway line. Correcting for a wide range of other determinants of house prices we find that dwellings very close to a...

Ossokina, Ioulia V.; Ommeren, Jos van; Mourik, Henk van - 2022
Highway construction occurs nowadays mainly through widening of existing roads rather than building new roads. This paper documents that highway widenings considerably reduce congestion in the short run, defined here as 6 years. Using longitudinal microdata from highway detector loops in the...

One-way flow networks : the role of heterogeneity
Galeotti, Andrea - 2004
I study a one-way flow connections model in which players are heterogeneous with respect to values and the costs of establishing a link. I first show that values and costs asymmetries are crucial in determining the level of connectedness of a network. Interestingly, unconnected equilibria are...

Complex network phenomena in telecommunication systems
Schintler, Laura A.; Gorman, Sean P.; Reggiani, Aura; … - 2004
Many networks such as the Internet have been found to possess scale-free and small-world network properties reflected by so-called power law distributions. Scale-free properties evolve in large complex networks through self-organizing processes and more specifically, preferential attachment. New...
