We propose an intuitive way of how to measure segregation in social and spatial networks. Using random walks, we define … the segregation index as the probability that an individual meets an individual from the same social group. The … segregation index is a generalization of the isolation index and a homophily index introduced in Currarini, Jackson, and Pin (2009 …

There is growing evidence that face-to-face interaction is declining in many countries, exacerbating the phenomenon of social isolation. On the other hand, social interaction through online networking sites is steeply rising. To analyze these societal dynamics, we have built an evolutionary game...
