  • The Network Origins of Entry

    Arthur Campbell, Philip Ushchev et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy2024References: 1

    We develop a model of the process of entry under social learning via word-of-mouth (WOM). An incumbent’s product is known to the consumers, while the success of a potential entrant hinges on generating consumer awareness of the entrant’s product through WOM. We model WOM as a percolation process on a random graph. We show that whether an entrant can gain a non-negligible level of awareness depends on the social network structure via two sufficien…

  • Who is the Key Player? A Network Analysis of Juvenile Delinquency

    Lung‐fei Lee, Lung-fei Lee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…2021

    This article presents a methodology for empirically identifying the key player, whose removal from the network leads to the optimal change in aggregate activity level in equilibrium [Ballester, C., Calvó-Armengol, A., and Zenou, Y. (2006), “Who’s Who in Networks. Wanted: The Key Player,” Econometrica, 74: 1403–1417], allowing the network links to rewire after the removal of the key player. First, we propose an IV-based estimation strategy for the…

  • Friendship and Female Education: Evidence from a Field Experiment in Bangladeshi Primary Schools

    Open AccessYoujin Hahn, Asad Islam et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2020References: 40

    We randomly assigned 115 primary schools in Bangladesh to one of two settings: children studying in groups with friends and children studying in groups with peers. The groups consisted of four people with similar average cognitive abilities and household characteristics. While the achievement of male students was not affected by the group assignment, low-ability females with friends outperformed low-ability females working with peers by roughly 0…

  • R&D Networks: Theory, Empirics, and Policy Implications

    Michael König, Michael D König et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2019

    We analyze a model of R&D alliance networks where firms are engaged in R&D collaborations that lower their production costs while competing on the product market. We provide a complete characterization of the Nash equilibrium and determine the optimal R&D subsidy program that maximizes total welfare. We then structurally estimate this model using a unique panel of R&D collaborations and annual company reports. We use our estimates to study the im…

  • The Economic Consequences of Social-Network Structure

    Matthew O Jackson, Brian W Rogers et al.ARTICLEJournal of Economic Literature2017

    We survey the literature on the economic consequences of the structure of social networks. We develop a taxonomy of “macro” and “micro” characteristics of social-interaction networks and discuss both the theoretical and empirical findings concerning the role of those characteristics in determining learning, diffusion, decisions, and resulting behaviors. We also discuss the challenges of accounting for the endogeneity of networks in assessing the …

  • Key Player Policies When Contextual Effects Matter

    Coralio Ballester, Yves ZenouARTICLEJournal of Mathematical Sociology2014References: 4

    We consider a model where the criminal decision of each individual is affected by not only her own characteristics, but also by the characteristics of her friends (contextual effects). We determine who the key player is, i.e., the criminal who once removed generates the highest reduction in total crime in the network. We propose a new measure, the contextual intercentrality measure, that generalizes the one proposed by Ballester, Calvó-Armengol, …

  • L'analyse de réseaux au service de la lutte contre le crime

    Yves ZenouARTICLERegards croisés sur l'économie/Rega…2014References: 20

    Nous étudions les effets de pairs dans la criminalité entre criminels par l’analyse de réseaux. Nous mettons d’abord en avant l’importance et le rôle des réseaux dans la délinquance, pour ensuite donner quelques explications théoriques. Puis, nous exposons quelques tests empiriques et des politiques de réduction du crime lorsque le réseau social joue un rôle important. En particulier, nous présentons un des premiers tests empiriques de la politiq…

  • From Neighborhoods to Nations: The Economics of Social Interactions

    Yves ZenouARTICLEJournal of Economic Geography2013Cited by: 1References: 2

    Cities exist because proximity facilitates interactions between economic agents. There are few, if any, fundamental issues in urban economics that do not hinge in some way on reciprocal action or influence between or among workers and firms. Thus, the localization of industry arises from intra-industry knowledge spillovers in Marshall (1890), while the transmission of ideas arises through local inter-industry interaction that fosters innovation i…
