Collective Resilience: Deterring China's Weaponization of Economic Interdependence

Information and Economic Interdependence

Ensuring Prolonged Participation and Deterring Cheating Behaviors in a Collective

We are building a system that harnesses the idle resources (cpu, storage, and bandwidth) of nodes (e.g., home desktops) distributed across the Internet to build useful distributed services like content distribution or remote backup. Users are compensated in return for contributing their nodes’ idle resources to the system. Collective managers bundle and manage the contributed resources and rese...

Collective Efficacy and Task Interdependence When Collective- and Self-Efficacy Affect Team Performance: The Role of Task Interdependence

The study examined task interdependence as a structural factor, which influences the emergence of collective-efficacy versus self-efficacy as a team level construct. It tested for the differential effects of selfand collective-efficacy on team performance, and the effects of initial perceptions of selfand collective-efficacy and record of past performance on the development of their subsequent ...

Innovation , Technological Interdependence , and Economic Growth ̊ Douglas

There is substantial heterogeneity across industries in the level of interdependence between new and old technologies. I propose a measure of this interdependence–an index of sequentiality in innovation–which is the transfer rate of patents in a particular industry. I find that highly sequential industries have higher profitability, higher variance of firm growth, lower exit rates, and lower ra...

Resilience and Controllability of Dynamic Collective Behaviors

The network paradigm is used to gain insight into the structural root causes of the resilience of consensus in dynamic collective behaviors, and to analyze the controllability of the swarm dynamics. Here we devise the dynamic signaling network which is the information transfer channel underpinning the swarm dynamics of the directed interagent connectivity based on a topological neighborhood of ...
