Empirical investigation results on weighted and un-weighted assortativity, act degree distribution, degree distribution and node strength distribution of nine real world collaboration networks have been presented. The investigations propose that act degree distribution, degree distribution and...

This paper shows empirically how the choice of certain data pre-processing methods for disambiguating author names affects our understanding of the structure and evolution of co-publication networks. Thirty years of publication records from 125 Information Systems journals were obtained from...

We analyze income tax evasion dynamics in a standard model of statistical mechanics, the Ising model of ferromagnetism. However, in contrast to previous research, we use an inhomogeneous multi-dimensional Ising model where the local degrees of freedom (agents) are subject to a specific social...

In this paper, the effect of the social network on macroeconomic stability is examined using an agent-based, network-based DSGE (dynamic stochastic general equilibrium) model. While the authors' primitive (first-stage) examination has the network generation mechanism as its main focus, their...
