Strategic network formation with structural holes

Strategic network formation with structural holes In this paper we briefly summarize the sociological theory of structural holes, which asserts that people benefit from acting as bridges between groups of people who do not otherwise interact. We then summarize recent work on modeling this phenomenon using network formation games. We conclude by providing open questions in the study and modeling of structural holes. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM SIGecom Exchanges Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

In this paper we briefly summarize the sociological theory of structural holes, which asserts that people benefit from acting as bridges between groups of people who do not otherwise interact. We then summarize recent work on modeling this phenomenon using network formation games. We conclude by providing open questions in the study and modeling of structural holes.
