We study the impact of research collaborations in coauthorship networks on total research output. Through the links in the collaboration network researchers create spillovers not only to their direct coauthors but also to researchers indirectly linked to them. We characterize the interior...

The pattern of financial linkages is important in many areas of banking and finance. Yet bilateral linkages are often unknown, and maximum entropy serves as the leading method for estimating unobserved counterparty exposures. This paper proposes an efficient alternative that combines...

In this paper, we examine possible types of network formation among immigrants in the diaspora and between those immigrants and the locals in different countries. We present the model by considering different possible interactions between immigrants and the new society in their host country....

Co-creation of value is inseparable from its capturing by the various participants in the network. While the quality of the cooperation determines the co-created value, the value appropriation strategy of the participants affects the quality of the cooperative efforts. The paper presents the...

In cooperative networks firms appropriate value through bargaining over the economic benefits generated from successful execution of joint tasks and through internalizing the knowledge of partners. Consequently, acquisition and protection of knowledge are the key issues for collaborating...

Are the professional networks of corporate directors valuable? More connected directors may have better information and more influence, which can increase firm value. However, these directors may also be busy or spread value-decreasing practices. To separate the effect of director networks on...

We experimentally study the emergence of networks under a known external threat. To be more specific, we deal with the question if subjects in the role of a strategic Designer are able to form safe and efficient networks while facing a strategic Adversary who is going to attack their networks....
