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 …

This paper presents and structurally estimates a model of endogenous network formation and legislative activity of … of Congress as exogenously given and instead embed it in a model of endogenous network formation useful for developing …

We develop a theoretical model of security investments in a network of interconnected agents. Network connections … strategic substitutes. In a general (non-symmetric) network, this implies that underinvestment by some agents will encourage … symmetric or locally tree-like. We also characterize the impact of network structure on equilibrium and optimal investments …

We characterize the evolution over time of a network of credit relations among financial agents as a system of coupled … network of liabilities among agents. The average level of risk diversification of the agents coincides with the density of … links in the network. In addition to a process of diffusion of financial distress, we also consider a discrete process of …

financial institutions. Focusing on a multi sector economy linked through a supply network, we show how structural properties of … the supply network determine both whether aggregate volatility disappears as the number of sectors increases (i … aggregate output from its mean) to sector-specific volatility and to the structural properties of the supply network …

In this note, we consider a broad class of network models where a large number of heterogeneous agents simultaneously …
