Continuous homophily and clustering in random networks
Gauer, Florian; Landwehr, Jakob - 2015 - First Version: July 2014, This Version: July 2015
We propose a random network model incorporating heterogeneity of agents and a continuous notion of homophily. Unlike … the vast majority of the corresponding economic literature, we capture homophily in terms of similarity rather than … characteristics. A homophily parameter directly determines the strength of this effect. As a main result, we show that for any …

Continuous homophily and clustering in random networks

We propose a random network model incorporating heterogeneity of agents and a continuous notion of homophily. Unlike … the vast majority of the corresponding economic literature, we capture homophily in terms of similarity rather than … homophily levels. As a possible application we provide a stylized labor market model, where a firm can hire a worker via the …

When strong ties are strong: Networks and youth labor market entry
Kramarz, Francis; Nordström Skans, Oskar - 2011
The conditions under which young workers find their first real post-graduation jobs are both very important for the young's future careers and insufficiently known given their public policy implications. To study these conditions, and in particular the role played by networks, we use a Swedish...

Do Workers Really Benefit From Their Social Networks?
Fontaine, François - 2004
This paper provides a simple matching model in which unemployed workers and employers in large firms can be matched together through social networks or through more "formal" methods of search. We show that networks do not necessarily add new externalities and that some results previously...

On the Efficiency of Job Search with Social Networks
Cahuc, Pierre; Fontaine, François - 2002
This paper provides a simple matching model in which unemployed workers and employers can be matched together through social networks and through more efficient, but also more costly, methods. In this framework, decentralized decisions to utilize social networks in the job search process can be...
