We show that the more central … minority agents are in the social network, the more they assimilate to the majority culture. We also show that denser networks … tend to favor assimilation so that, for example, it is easier to assimilate in a complete network than in a star …

We propose a random network model incorporating heterogeneity of agents and a continuous notion of homophily. Unlike … equality of agents. We show that if links between similar agents are indeed more likely, our homophilous random network model … social network. …

Network structure has a significant role in determining the outcomes of many socioeconomic relationships, including the … antagonistic ones. In this paper we study a situation in which agents, embedded in a network, simultaneously play interrelated … bilateral contest games with their neighbors. Interrelatedness of contests induces complex local and global network effects. We …

methodological tools assessing network characteristics at the dyadic level are lacking for aggregated networks (such as the network … knowledge flows. To do so we first define a new measure to assess 'network proximity' at the level of the regional dyad, based … European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom).
