SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC NETWORKS - MATTHEW O JACKSO...

Networks of relationships help determine the careers that people choose  the jobs they obtain 
the products they buy  and how they vote. The many aspects of our lives that are governed by
social networks make it critical to understand how they impact behavior  which network
structures are likely to emerge in a society  and why we organize ourselves as we do. In Social
and Economic Networks  Matthew Jackson offers a comprehensive introduction to social and
economic networks  drawing on the latest findings in economics  sociology  computer science 
physics  and mathematics. He provides empirical background on networks and the regularities
that they exhibit  and discusses random graph-based models and strategic models of network
formation. He helps readers to understand behavior in networked societies  with a detailed
analysis of learning and diffusion in networks  decision making by individuals who are
influenced by their social neighbors  game theory and markets on networks  and a host of
related subjects. Jackson also describes the varied statistical and modeling techniques used to
analyze social networks. Each chapter includes exercises to aid students in their analysis of
how networks function.
