Segregation in Friendship Networks∗
We analyze a network formation model where agents belong to different communities. Both individual benefits and costs depend on direct as well as indirect connections. Benefits of an indirect connection decrease with distance in the network while the cost of a link depends on the type of agents involved. Two individuals from the same community always face a low linking cost while the cost of fo...
متن کاملFriendship Formation, Oppositional Identity, and Segregation∗
The aim of this paper is to explain how friendships form, especially between races, and how it can explain (social) segregation or integration between communities. For that, we develop an explicit model of network formation where individuals receive direct and indirect benefits from friendship connections but have to pay some costs for interacting with people. Individuals from each community ar...
متن کاملCorrelated genotypes in friendship networks.
It is well known that humans tend to associate with other humans who have similar characteristics, but it is unclear whether this tendency has consequences for the distribution of genotypes in a population. Although geneticists have shown that populations tend to stratify genetically, this process results from geographic sorting or assortative mating, and it is unknown whether genotypes may be ...
متن کاملComputer-Mediated Friendship Networks
Social networks have been around since the dawn of civilization. What is unique about social networks today is that a large part of these social networks is computer-mediated. Computer-mediated friendship networks (CMFNs) are a prime example of IT that matters. This research-in-progress focuses on the antecedents to CMFN usage based on Self-Determination Theory and Socio-Emotional Selectivity T...
متن کاملAn Economic Model of Friendship: Homophily, Minorities and Segregation∗
We develop a model of friendship formation that sheds light on segregation patterns observed in social and economic networks. Individuals have types and see typedependent benefits from friendships. We examine the properties of a steady-state equilibrium of a matching process of friendship formation. We use the model to understand three empirical patterns of friendship formation: (i) larger grou...
