network formation. While the physics/applied mathematics approach is capable of reproducing most observed networks, it does …

We provide an overview on networks in economics. We first look at the theoretical aspects of network economics using a … game-theoretical approach. We derive some results on games on networks and network formation. We also study what happens …

We provide an overview and synthesis of the literatures analyzing games where players are connected via a network … structure. We study, in particular, the impact of the structure of the network on individuals’ behaviors. We focus on the game …

We study from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective how a network of military alliances and enmities affects … the intensity of a conflict. The model combines elements from network theory and from the politico-economic theory of … characterization of the Nash equilibrium of the fighting game, and of how the network structure affects individual and total fighting …

targeting a set of network nodes that are optimally positioned to quickly diffuse information, attitudes, behaviors or goods. We … targeting the most active agents in a network. …

We develop a dynamic network formation model that can explain the observed nestedness in real-world networks. Links are … identify the networks to which the network formation process converges and find that they are nested split graphs. We … by real-world networks. Using four different network datasets, we empirically test our model and show that it fits well …

once removed generates the highest reduction in total crime in the network. We generalize the intercentrality measure …

We analyze delinquent networks of adolescents in the United States. We develop a dynamic network formation model … criminal activities, they can be key players because they have a crucial position in the network in terms of betweenness …

This paper studies whether conformism behavior affects individual outcomes in crime. We present a social network model … then bring the model to the data by using a very detailed dataset of adolescent friendship networks. A novel social network …
