Social networks and wages in Senegal's labor market
Beradi, Nicoletta - In: IZA Journal of Labor & Development 2 (2013), pp. 1-26
We develop a theoretical framework that considers the role played by moral hazard and the diversity of networks and cultures in the choice of hiring channel. In favoritism contexts social networks, and particularly strong ties, are adopted as hiring channels for unskilled jobs and result in wage...

Social networks and macroeconomic stability
Chen, Shu-Heng; Chang, Chia-Ling; Wen, Ming-Chang - In: Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal 8 (2014) 2014-16, pp. 1-40
In this paper, the effect of the social network on macroeconomic stability is examined using an agent-based, network-based DSGE (dynamic stochastic general equilibrium) model. While the authors' primitive (first-stage) examination has the network generation mechanism as its main focus, their...

A general framework for rational learning in social networks
Mueller-Frank, Manuel - In: Theoretical Economics 8 (2013) 1, pp. 1-40
This paper provides a formal characterization of the process of rational learning in social networks. Agents receive initial private information and select an action out of a choice set under uncertainty in each of infinitely many periods, observing the history of choices of their neighbors....

Dynamics of information exchange in endogenous social networks
Bimpikis, Kostas; Ozdaglar, Asuman; Acemoglu, Daron - In: Theoretical Economics 9 (2014) 1, pp. 41-97
We develop a model of information exchange through communication and investigate its implications for information aggregation in large societies. An \textit{underlying state} determines payoffs from different actions. Agents decide which others to form a costly \textit{communication link} with,...

Information diffusion in networks through social learning
Lobel, Ilan; Sadler, Evan - In: Theoretical Economics 10 (2015) 3, pp. 807-851
We study perfect Bayesian equilibria of a sequential social learning model in which agents in a network learn about an underlying state by observing neighbors' choices. In contrast with prior work, we do not assume that the agents' sets of neighbors are mutually independent. We introduce a new...
