We study the formation of networks in environments where agents derive benefits from other agents directly linked to … networks with undirected links (e.g. epidemics, underground resistance organizations, trade networks) where we find that stable … networks are comprised of completely connected disjoint subnetworks. Then, we consider networks with directed links and we find …

We present a multi-country theory of economic growth in which countries are connected by a network of mutual knowledge … industrial revolution, followed by decreasing relative inequality. Knowledge diffusion through a Small World network explains the …

We study a model of network formation and start-up financing with endogenous entrepreneurial type distribution. A hub … firm admits members to its network based on signals about entrepreneurs’ types. Network membership is observable, which … allows lenders to offer different interest rates to network and stand-alone entrepreneurs. We show that a network outcome can …

Maintaining the security of critical infrastructure networks is vital for a modern economy. This paper examines a game …-theoretic model of attack and defense of a network in which the defender's objective is to maintain network connectivity and the … attacker's objective is to destroy a set of nodes that disconnects the network. The conflict at each node is modeled as a …

review is on studies that use network analysis paying special attention to those that apply complex analysis techniques …

Past innovation network structures are calculated using citation patterns across technology classes during 1975 …-1994. The interaction of this pre-existing network structure with patent growth in upstream technology fields has strong …
