Changes in Social Network Structure in Response to Exposure to Formal Credit Markets (2021, positive): “Feigenberg et al. (2013) find that participation in microcredit creates tighter social relationships among group members. Binzel, Field, and Pande (2013), Banerjee, Breza, Duflo, and Kinnan (2014a), and Comola and Prina (2014) explore whether and in what ways interventions that affect household fina”

A tensor approach to learning mixed membership community models (2013, background): “Community formation in social networks has been studied by many sociologists, e.g. [Moreno, 1934, Lazarsfeld et al., 1954, McPherson et al., 2001, Currarini et al., 2009], starting with the seminal work of Moreno [1934].”
Econometrics of Network Formation (2016, background): “The theory literature has studied models with search intensities (Currarini, Jackson, and Pin, 2009, 2010; Borgs, Chayes, Ding, and Lucier, 2010; Golub and Livne, 2010), and the next model develops an econometric analog.”
