Political Homophily and Collaboration in Regional Planning Networks
We study the extent of political homophily—the tendency to form connections with others who are politically similar—in local governments’ decisions to participate in an important form of intergovernmental collaboration: regional planning networks.

متن کاملHomophily in Online Social Networks
We develop a parsimonious and tractable dynamic social network formation model in which agents interact in overlapping social groups. The model allows us to analyse network properties and homophily patterns simultaneously. We derive analytical expressions for the distributions of degree and, importantly, of homophily indices, using mean-field approximations. We test our model using a large data...

Thus, the needs to: (1) transport a large number of injured and ill people out of the disaster...
متن کاملBicriteria Resource Allocation Problem in Pert Networks
We develop a bicriteria model for the resource allocation problem in PERT networks, in which the total direct costs of the project as the first objective, and the mean of project completion time as the second objective are minimized. The activity durations are assumed to be independent random variables with either exponential or Erlang distributions, in which the mean of each activity duration ...
