Network Synergy
Hernandez, Exequiel - 2018
Acquisitions can dramatically reshape interorganizational networks by combining previously separate nodes and allowing the acquirer to inherit the target's ties. We define network synergy as the extent to which combining acquirer and target networks through node collapse results in a more...

Strong ties in a small world
Leij, Marco van der; Goyal, Sanjeev - 2006
In this paper we test the celebrated `Strength of weak ties' theory of Granovetter (1973). We test two hypotheses on the network structure in a data set of collaborating economists. While we find support for the hypothesis of transitivity of strong ties, we reject the hypothesis that weak ties...

Platform network ties and enterprise innovation performance : the role of network bricolage and platform empowerment
Han, Ying; Xie, Lei - In: Journal of innovation & knowledge : JIK 8 (2023) 4, pp. 1-11
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that participate in network platforms can effectively overcome resource bottlenecks and reduce the impact of the coronavirus pandemic of 2019. However, the reasons for this phenomenon remain unclear. To further investigate this issue, we selected 310...

Robustness of Banking Networks to Idiosyncratic and Systemic Shocks : A Network-Based Approach
Steinbacher, Matjaz - 2014
We propose a network-based structural model of credit risk to demonstrate how idiosyncratic and systemic shocks propagate across the banking system and evaluate the costs. The banking system is built as a network of heterogeneous banks which are connected with one another. In such a system,...

Social norms in networks
Ushchev, Philip; Zenou, Yves - 2019
Although the linear-in-means model is the workhorse model in empirical work on peer effects, its theoretical properties are understudied. In this study, we develop a social-norm model that provides a micro foundation of the linear-in-means model and investigate its properties. We show that...

Investigating peer and sorting effects within an adaptive multiplex network model
Lipari, Francesca; Stella, Massimo; Antonioni, Alberto - In: Games 10 (2019) 2/16, pp. 1-12
Individuals have a strong tendency to coordinate with all their neighbors on social and economics networks. Coordination is often influenced by intrinsic preferences among the available options, which drive people to associate with similar peers, i.e., homophily. Many studies reported that...

The role of social networks in cultural assimilation
Verdier, Thierry; Zenou, Yves - 2015
We develop a model where, in the first stage, minority individuals have to decide whether or not they want to assimilate to the majority culture while, in the second stage, all individuals (both from the majority and the minority group) embedded in a network have to decide how much effort they...

Empirical methods for networks data : social effects, network formation and measurement error
Advani, Arun; Malde, Bansi - 2014
In many contexts we may be interested in understanding whether direct connections between agents, such as declared friendships in a classroom or family links in a rural village, affect their outcomes. In this paper we review the literature studying econometric methods for the analysis of social...
