Social phenomena are affected by the structure of networks consisting of personal relationships. In the present paper, the diffusion of information among people is examined. In particular, the relationship between the network structure and the dynamics is studied. First, several networks are...

A fundamental question related to innovation diffusion is how the social network structure influences the process. Empirical evidence regarding real-world influence networks is very limited. On the other hand, agent-based modeling literature reports different and at times seemingly contradictory...

Multiplying the strategic alliances has led in time to the evolved forms of federations created either on the investment criterion, or on the basis of a common approach of a market or to approach together a research-development area. In order to try to shape the new realities in the practice of...

Consider a group of agents embedded in a network, repeatedly playing a game with their neighbors. Each agent acts locally but through the links of the network local decisions percolate to the entire population. Past research shows that such a system converges either to an absorbing state (a...

In this paper, we investigate how contagion risk is affected by bank activities in four types of interbank network structures, that is, random, small-world, scale-free and tiered networks. We vary the key parameters that define bank activities in the interbank market — including the size of...

Literature claims for a deeper understanding of which processes shape the evolution of network structures over time. Drawing on the assumption that the “normative ideal” network structure should be understood according to the context in which the network is embedded, we observe collaborative...
