role of length and closeness of friendships on the degree of homophily. We also exploit the dynamics of the friendship by …Homophily is the tendency to establish relationships among people who share similar characteristics or attributes. This …’ occupational class proved to be insignificant. We also show that the degree of homophily among friends selected from a random …

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 … characteristics. A homophily parameter directly determines the strength of this effect. As a main result, we show that for any …

Persistent Classmates: How Familiarity with Peers Protects from Disruptive School Transitions

Ly, Son Thierry; Riegert, Arnaud - HAL - 2013

Students' social networks are deeply disrupted during school transitions and students start in a classroom environment where almost all their peers are new. In this study, we investigate the consequences of keeping partly the same classmates during the transition to high school. To overcome the...

Network security

Larson, Nathan - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011

In a variety of settings, some payoff-relevant item spreads along a network of connected individuals. In some cases, the item will benefit those who receive it (for example, a music download, a stock tip, news about a new research funding source, etc.) while in other cases the impact may be...

Diffusion and cascading behavior in random networks

Lelarge, Marc - In: Games and Economic Behavior 75 (2012) 2, pp. 752-775

The spread of new ideas, behaviors or technologies has been extensively studied using epidemic models. Here we consider a model of diffusion where the individualsʼ behavior is the result of a strategic choice. We study a simple coordination game with binary choice and give a condition for a new...
