Changes in Social Network Structure in Response to Exposure to Formal Credit Markets (2021, unknown): “For instance, Jackson, Rodriguez-Barraquer, and Tan (2012) introduce the notion of support which correlates the presence of links based on incentives to exchange favors (including lending to each other).”
Risk-Sharing Networks (2007, background): “Starting from an initial set of risk-sharing relations, what type of network emerges? Consider the following stochastic process from Jackson and Watts (2002).18 Start with an initial network g0.”
The Economic Consequences of Social Network Structure (2017, unknown): “See Jackson (2014). (5)Homophily is the tendency of agents to associate with other agents who have similar characteristics.”
Social Networks and the Identification of Peer Effects (2013, methodology): “Following Jackson (2008), we refer to this type of model as a Strategic Network Formation Model (see also Jackson 2003, 2006, 2011).”
The Economics of Social Networks (2005, background): “70See Bloch and Jackson (2003) for an analysis of endogenous transfers in settings that treat players more symmetrically (simultaneous move games).”
It's all about Connections: Evidence on Network Formation (2012, unknown): “5Thus, contrary to Jackson and Wolinsky (1996) link formation is a unilateral decision.”
The Evolution of Social and Economic Networks (2002, background): “Thus, the complete network has a resistance of 7!/(5!2!)=21, which is the minimum possible given the number of pairwise stable networks [22].”
An Overview of Social Networks and Economic Applications (2011, background): “Some such arrangements are fairly straightforward, whereas others are more complex and involve some idiosyncracies in production potentially requiring special investments, uncertainties, or other things that might lead to less than perfect contracting. Uzzi’s interviews suggest that some relationshi”
Economic Networks in the Laboratory: A Survey (2004, background): “Similarly, Jackson and Watts (2001) consider the evolution of more general network models.”
Structural holes in social networks (2007, background): “Thus, in this sense, the force towards polarization that proved so acute under unqualified bilateral stability 8The stability of the cycle (which is not minimally connected) is an instance of the inefficiency discussed in Jackson (2003) where players over-connect to avoid positional disadvantages.”
