Compositional Fairness Constraints for Graph Embeddings (2019, background): “Graph embedding techniques have a long history in the social sciences, with connections to early research on “sociograms” (small hand-constructed social networks) and latent variable models of social interactions (Faust, 1988; Majone, 1972).”

Estimation and Prediction for Stochastic Blockstructures (2001, methodology): “A general introduction was given by Wasserman and Faust (1994). Although the analysis of relational structures has its primary focus on the pattern of relationships between the actors involved, the relations often are strongly affected by the attributes possessed by the actors (e.”
Model‐based clustering for social networks (2007, methodology): “…social network by assigning positions in a continuous space to the actors was introduced in the 1970s; see, for example, McFarland and Brown (1973), Faust (1988) and Breiger et al. (1975), who used multidimensional scaling to do this, and this approach has been widely used since (Wasserman and…”
Economic Globalisation and the Structure of the World City System: The Case of Airline Passenger Data (2010, methodology): “…of the types of data used to estimate the positions were debatable in terms of their inclusion into the overall measure.3 Thirdly, the network analytical strategy they used—CONCOR—has been shown to give artifactual solutions that are inconsistent with the notion of role and position (Faust, 1988).”
Latent Space Approaches to Social Network Analysis (2002, background): “Various concepts of social space have been discussed by McFarland and Brown (1973) and Faust (1988).”
Choice and performance of governance mechanisms: matching alliance governance to asset type (2009, result): “Additionally, consistent with recent alliance research (e.g. Faust, 1988; Gulati et al., 2005), our informants were highly placed within the firm and in a position to provide opinions that reflected those of other key decision makers (Li and Atuahene-Gima, 2002; Phillips, 1981).”
