Using the network random generation models from Gustedt (2009) [23], we simulate and analyze several characteristics (such as the number of components, the degree distribution and the clustering coefficient) of the generated networks. This is done for a variety of distributions (fixed value,...

The cluster-degree of a vertex is the number of connections among the neighbors of this vertex. In this paper we study the cluster-degree of the generalized Barabási–Albert model (GBA model) whose exponent of degree distribution ranges from 2 to ∞. We present the mean-field rate equation...

This discussion paper resulted in a publication in the 'Review of Network Economics' (forthcoming).<P> 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...</p>

In this paper, we present a model in which the performing arts are modelled as congestible public goods. In accordance with empirical evidence, the production of seat capacity is assumed to be subject to fixed costs. We estimate the parameters of the model's demand and cost functions using...
