We present a new approach to the study of networks where the formation of links is driven by unilateral initiative of … generalization of the model in which intermittent states can make the evolution of connectivity slower. In this class of networks … to a class of networks not based on the rationale of linking probability between pair of nodes, but it is based on the …

We survey the literature on the economic consequences of the structure of social networks. We develop a taxonomy of … "macro" and "micro" characteristics of social interaction networks and discuss both the theoretical and empirical findings … discuss the challenges of accounting for the endogeneity of networks in assessing the relationship between the patterns of …

This paper characterizes the set of equilibrium networks in the two-way flow model of network formation with small …, this set contains large- as well as small-diameter networks. For all benefit functions, the periphery-sponsored star is the … most stable. When the marginal benefits of information are constant, all non-star networks are equally stable. With …
