Reciprocal attention and norm of reciprocity in blogging networks
Gaudeul, Alexia; Peroni, Chiara - 2010
Bloggers devote significant time not only producing content for others to read, watch or listen to, but also paying attention to and engaging in interactions with other bloggers. We hope to throw light not only on the factors that gain bloggers significant readership and lively interactions with...

Trust and manipulation in social networks
Förster, Manuel; Mauleon, Ana; Vannetelbosch, Vincent J. - 2014
neighbors in the social network, can exert effort to manipulate the trust of others, and update their opinions about some common …. We show that manipulation can modify the trust structure and lead to a connected society. Manipulation fosters opinion …

Whom can you trust? : reputation and cooperation in networks
King, Maia - 2017
network that connects them. We find that information supports cooperation by increasing trust between players, and obtain the … 'radius of trust': an endogenous network listing the potentially cooperative relationships between pairs of players in a … community. We identify two aspects of trust, which relate to the network structure in different ways. Where trust depends on the …

Boundedly rational opinion dynamics in social networks : does indegree matter?
Battiston, Pietro; Stanca, Luca M. - 2015
This paper investigates opinion dynamics and social influence in directed communication networks. We study the theoretical properties of a boundedly rational model of opinion formation in which individuals aggregate the information they receive from their neighbors by using weights that are a...

How Homophily Affects the Speed of Learning and Best Response Dynamics
Golub, Benjamin - 2012
We examine how the speed of learning and best-response processes depends on homophily: the tendency of agents to associate disproportionately with those having similar traits. When agents' beliefs or behaviors are developed by averaging what they see among their neighbors, then convergence to a...

Discovery and Social Learning in Non-Priced Environments : An Austrian View of Social Network Theory
Chamlee-Wright, Emily - 2014
Our purpose here is to engage in a cross-disciplinary discussion between Austrian economics and social network theory. In particular, we ask what role social networks play in the extended order, in regard to both individual discovery and whether social networks can be the source of widespread...

How homophily affects learning and diffusion in networks
Golub, Benjamin; Jackson, Matthew O. - 2009
We examine how three different communication processes operating through social networks are affected by homophily - the tendency of individuals to associate with others similar to themselves. Homophily has no effect if messages are broadcast or sent via shortest paths; only connection density...

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...

Network Structure and the Speed of Learning : Measuring Homophily Based on its Consequences
Golub, Benjamin; Jackson, Matthew O. - 2012
Homophily is the tendency of people to associate relatively more with those who are similar to them than with those who are not. In Golub and Jackson (2010a), we introduced degree-weighted homophily (DWH), a new measure of this phenomenon, and showed that it gives a lower bound on the time it...
