Standard economic theory has recently recognized the role of networks in shaping everyday economic life. After introducing the basic concepts for analyzing networks, we will study models of learning and diffusion in networks and present the economic approaches to network formation based on game theory to model incentives to form links. A large part is devoted to present applications and recent empirical works to illustrate the approach.

Standard economic theory has recently recognized the role of networks in shaping everyday economic life. Social, economic, and online networks are primary conduits of information, from basic word-of-mouth communication of ideas and availability of products to more sophisticated learning and opinion formation.  Networks are also important in conveying information about agents' behaviors, and in providing them with incentives to behave efficiently, including sharing risks and favors, and information about valuable opportunities. Finally, social networks deeply affect the extent, speed, and shape of different processes of propagation, ranging from disease to innovation.  We will examine models and data that shed light on how social network structure affects such phenomena.
The first part of the course introduces the basic concepts for analyzing networks: statistics, values to positions. Then it analyzes games on networks, studies models of learning and diffusion in networks, and presents the economic approaches to network formation based on game theory to model incentives to form links. The second part will present numerous applications and recent empirical works to illustrate the approach.

Compte rendu


This course (taught with F. Bloch and M. Comola) is an introductory course on networks in economics.

Standard economic theory has recently recognized the role of networks in shaping everyday economic life. Social, economic, and online networks are primary conduits of information, from basic word-of-mouth communication of ideas and availability of products to more sophisticated learning and opinion formation.  Networks are also important in conveying information about agents' behaviors, and in providing them with incentives to behave efficiently, including sharing risks and favors, and information about valuable opportunities. Finally, social networks deeply affect the extent, speed, and shape of different processes of propagation, ranging from disease to innovation.  We examine models and data that shed light on how social network structure affects such phenomena.

The first part of the course introduces the basic concepts for analyzing networks: statistics, values to positions. Then it analyzes games on networks, studies models of learning and diffusion in networks, and presents the economic approaches to network formation based on game theory to model incentives to form links. The second part has presented applications to ‘targeting’ strategies and propagation of macroeconomic showks, as well as econometric methods to analyze network formation.
