The paper examines individuals’ abilities to identify the highly central people in their social networks, where … centrality is defined by diffusion centrality (Banerjee, Chandrasekhar, Duflo, and Jackson, 2013), which characterizes a nodeâ …€™s influence in spreading information. It first show that diffusion centrality nests standard centrality measures – degree …

characterizes the topology of competing (and potentially overlapping) diffusion paths. Sellers indirectly appropriate profits over … diffusion and confer monopoly power. Links that bridge distinct classes are redundant for diffusion and generate competition … among sellers. In dense networks, competition limits the scope of indirect appropriability and intellectual property rights …
