Network triads: transitivity, referral and venture capital decisions in China and Russia (2007, background): “Similarly, Louch (2000) reported that triads comprised of homogeneous actors in terms of race, education, and religion, were more transitive and integrated over time than heterogeneous triads.”
Birds of a Feather: Homophily in Social Networks (2001, background): “The initial network studies showed substantial homophily by demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, and education (e.g., Bott 1929, Loomis 1946), and by psychological characteristics like intelligence, attitudes, and aspirations (e.g., Almack 1922, Richardson 1940).”
Planned Luck: How Incubators Can Facilitate Serendipity for Nascent Entrepreneurs Through Fostering Network Embeddedness (2020, background): “Social embeddedness has been examined in a variety of contexts: in terms of business sectors (e.g., Uzzi, 1997, 1999), gender (e.g., Louch, 2000), families (e.g., Aldrich & Cliff, 2003), and social class (e.g., Anderson & Miller, 2003).”
Patterns and dynamics of users' behavior and interaction: Network analysis of an online community (2009, background): “Mechanisms of social capital are then activated at the local level as triadic closure is likely to produce reputation effects, encourage trust between users, enhance propensity for cooperative behavior, and make misuse of communication more likely to be detected and punished (Coleman, 1988; Davis et”
Clustering in weighted networks (2009, background): “Evidence suggests that in most real-world networks, and especially social networks, nodes tend to cluster into densely connected groups (Feld, 1981; Friedkin, 1984; Holland and Leinhardt, 1970; Louch, 2000; Simmel, 1923; Snijders, 2001; Snijders et al., 2006; Watts and Strogatz, 1998).”
Real and imagined barriers to college entry: Perceptions of cost (2004, background): “First, informal social networks are generally segregated along the lines of race/ethnicity, education and income (Louch 2000; Marsden 1988; McPherson, Smith-Lovin and Cook 2001).”
How Peers Make a Difference: The Role of Peer Groups and Peer Relationships in Personality Development (2014, background): “Other stratifying individual variables are socioeconomic status (Louch, 2000) and ethnicity (Titzmann & Silbereisen, 2009).”
Consumers' self-congruence with a 'Liked' brand: cognitive network influence and brand outcomes (2017, background): “For example, age homophily is evident in social affiliations, interactions, and interpersonal networked connections (Louch, 2000).”
Knowledge, Networks, and Knowledge Networks (2011, background): “However, because tie strength and network density tend to be mutually reinforcing and strongly correlated (Granovetter, 1983; Louch, 2000), a trade-off exists between social cohesion in an ego network and its structural diversity: While social cohesion from tie strength and network closure promotes…”
