Clustering, Cooperation, and Search in Social Networks
研究社会网络中的聚类如何影响成员的合作激励和搜索新机会的能力,并表明网络聚类会根据环境波动和社会惯例内生调整,以长期维持高社会连通性。
The paper discusses the important role of clustering in the evolution of social networks, as it affects not only the incentives of players to cooperate but also their ability to search for fresh opportunities. Depending on the volatility of the environment and the social convention in place, we show that network clustering endogenously adapts to achieve and maintain, to the extent possible, a state of high social connectivity in the long run.
