A complex network is a powerful tool to research complex systems, traffic flow being one of the most complex systems. In this paper, we use complex network theory to study traffic time series, which provide a new insight into traffic flow analysis. Firstly, the phase space, which describes the...

Abstract This paper first investigates empirically the relationship between risk aversion and social network structure in a large group of undergraduate students. We find that risk aversion is strongly correlated to local network clustering, that is, the probability that one has a social tie to...

Agents involved in the formation of a social or economic network typically face uncertainty about the benefits of creating a link. However, the interplay of such uncertainty and risk attitudes has been neglected in the network formation literature. We propose a dynamic network formation model...
