(3) Initial inclinations determine the critical mass of … network and other parameters. Given the complexity of the system we use a standard technique for estimating the solution …

Agents involved in the formation of a social or economic network typically face uncertainty about the benefits of … creating a link. However, the interplay of such uncertainty and risk attitudes has been neglected in the network formation … literature. We propose a dynamic network formation model that builds on standard microeconomic concepts of utility maximization …

In this paper, we connect the social network theory on centrality measures to the economic theory of preferences and … different networks. The famous degree measure assigns to every position in a weighted network the sum of the weights of all … links with its neighbours. A crucial property of a preference relation over network positions is neutrality to ordinary risk …

This paper aims to connect the social network literature on centrality measures with the economic literature on von … Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility functions using cooperative game theory. The social network literature studies various … concepts of network centrality, such as degree, betweenness, connectedness, and so on. This resulted in a great number of …
