To better understand the way social networks operate in the labor market, we propose two simple models where … strength of weak ties in finding a job because they involve a secondary ring of acquaintances who have contacts with networks …

impact of segregation and find that segregation leads to polarization. Segregation also reduces the overall number of people … informed in the long run. Our final set of results shows that agents are more likely to prefer segregation if their information …

Furthermore, we show that the higher … the propensity for discrimination of those who interact via online social networks and via face-to-face encounters (i …

Many social networks have the following properties: (i) a short average distance between any two individuals; (ii) a … high clustering coefficient; (iii) segregation patterns; the presence of (iv) brokers and (v) hubs.
