We analyze a model of network formation with agents that belong to different communities and an endogenous cost … connection decrease with distance in the network, while the cost of a link depends on the type of agents involved in it as well … individual positions in the network. We derive a number of results with regard to equilibrium networks: (i) socialization among …

In a social network, agents have their own reference group which may influence their behaviour. In turn, the agents …' attributes and their behaviour affect the formation and the structure of the social network. This paper surveys the econometric …
