Citations among blogs in a hierarchy of communities: Method and case study

Journal of Computational Science, 2011
In this paper we propose a generic methodology to study the correlation between nodes interactions in complex networks and their organization into groups called communities. We illustrate it on citations in a blog network. We first define a homophily probability evaluating the tendency of blogs to cite blogs from the same community.

Collusion and Renegotiation in Hierarchies: A Case of Beneficial Corruption

International Economic Review, 1998
Corruption opportunities arise when a principal delegates enforcement or audit authority to a supervisor. The supervisor may then strike a deal with the agent she is supposed to monitor and conceal important information from the principal.

, 2006
Modern urban landscapes are characterized by the progressive separation of the location of jobs, houses and amenities, which inexorably leads to the increase of urban travel and transit.

Industrial informatics (II) is increasingly becoming a competitive factor in many industrial segments. Based on key enabling technologies such as high-speed networks, mobile agents and the object oriented development paradigm, II acts vertically at all levels of the production process, ranging from resource management down to sensor integration. Though

Jingulu (western Barkly Tablelands, Northern Territory, Australia (non-Pama-Nyungan)), the traditional language of the Jingili people, shows evidence for a hierarchical relationship between all four of its gender categories.

Communicating Vertical Hierarchies: the Adverse Selection Case [PDF]

, 2011
I study the rationale for information sharing in a model where two principals, which exert production externalities one on another, endogenously decide whether to exchange information about their exclusive agents. I show that one novel effect shapes communication decisions when agents are privately informed about production costs. This effect is absent
