Continuous homophily and clustering in random networks
Gauer, Florian; Landwehr, Jakob - 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 equality by assuming that the probability of linkage between...
