Urban spatial structure, employment and social ties : European versus American cities
Picard, Pierre M.; Zenou, Yves - 2015
We develop a model where workers both choose their residential location (geographical space) and their social interactions (social space). In equilibrium, we show under which condition some individuals reside close to the job center while others live far away from it. Even though the two...

How diverse can spatial measures of cultural diversity be? : results from Monte Carlo simulations of an agent-based model
Arribas-Bel, Daniel; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2014
Cultural diversity is a complex and multi-faceted concept. Commonly used quantitative measures of the spatial distribution of culturally-defined groups – such as segregation, isolation or concentration indexes - are often only capable of identifying just one aspect of this distribution. The...

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...
