Homophily and Individual Performance [PDF]
Organization Science, 2018 We study the relationship between choice homophily in instrumental relationships and individual performance in knowledge-intensive organizations. Although homophily should make it easier for people to get access to some colleagues, it may also lead to neglecting relationships with other colleagues, reducing the diversity of information people access ...

The Evolution of Homophily [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2012 Biologists have devoted much attention to assortative mating or homogamy, the tendency for sexual species to mate with similar others. In contrast, there has been little theoretical work on the broader phenomenon of homophily, the tendency for individuals to interact with similar others. Yet this behaviour is also widely observed in nature.

International Economic Review, 2015 Homophily, or the fact that similar individuals tend to interact with each other, is a prominent feature of economic and social networks. I show that the equilibrium structure of homophily has empirical power. I build a strategic model of network formation, which produces a unique equilibrium network.

Homophily within and across groups. [PDF]
Nat CommunHomophily -- the tendency of individuals to interact with similar others -- shapes how networks form and function. Yet existing approaches typically collapse homophily to a single scale, either one parameter for the whole network or one per community, thereby detaching it from other structural features. Here, we introduce a maximum-entropy random graph

Journal of Economic Theory, 2023 This paper extends the model of DeGroot in two directions to study the way learning and influence co-evolve in a social network. It establishes an existence result and characterizes the equilibrium influence matrix for some simple benchmark scenarios. Two features are considered in the environment.

What Does Homophily Do? A Review of the Consequences of Homophily
Academy of Management Annals, 2022 Understanding the consequences of homophily, which is among the most widely observed social phenomena, is important, with implications for management theory and practice.

Multidimensional homophily in friendship networks [PDF]
Network Science, 2014 AbstractHomophily—the tendency for individuals to associate with similar others—is one of the most persistent findings in social network analysis. Its importance is established along the lines of a multitude of sociologically relevant dimensions, e.g. sex, ethnicity and social class. Existing research, however, mostly focuses on one dimension at a time.

Preferences, Homophily, and Social Learning [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 We study a sequential model of Bayesian social learning in networks in which agents have heterogeneous preferences, and neighbors tend to have similar preferences—a phenomenon known as homophily. We find that the density of network connections determines the impact of preference diversity and homophily on learning. When connections are sparse, diverse

Generalizing Homophily to Simplicial Complexes
, 2023 Group interactions occur frequently in social settings, yet their properties beyond pairwise relationships in network models remain unexplored. In this work, we study homophily, the nearly ubiquitous phenomena wherein similar individuals are more likely than random to form connections with one another, and define it on simplicial complexes, a ...
