The Formation of Migrant Networks
Comola, Margherita; Mendola, Mariapia - 2013
We use a purposely-designed survey on Sri Lankan immigrants living in Milan to study their personal network. By taking a dyadic perspective we investigate how migrants form (weak and strong) social links among them in the host country, and the extent to which this network provides them material...

Social Norms in Networks
Ushchev, Philip - 2018
Although the linear-in-means model is the workhorse model in empirical work on peer effects, its theoretical properties are understudied. In this paper, we investigate how social norms affect individual effort, aggregate effort, and welfare. While individual productivity always positively...

Social Norms in Networks
Ushchev, Philip - 2019
Although the linear-in-means model is the workhorse model in empirical work on peer effects, its theoretical properties are understudied. In this study, we develop a social-norm model that provides a microfoundation of the linear-in-means model and investigate its properties. We show that...

Small world networks with segregation patterns and brokers
Gallo, Edoardo - 2009
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. (i) and (ii) define a … parameters, all pairwise Nash (PN) networks have properties (i)-(iv). There are some PN networks with one hub. Cognizant agents …
