Imputation of attributes in networked data using Bayesian autocorrelation regression models
Publication date: July 2020Source: Social Networks, Volume 62Author(s): Mark Patrick Roeling, Geoff K NichollsAbstractMisspecification in network autocorrelation models poses a challenge for parameter estimation, which is amplified by missing data. Model misspecification has been a focus of recent work in the statistics literature and new robust procedures have been developed, in particular cutting feedback. This paper shows how this helps in a misspecified network autocorrelation model. Where model misspecification is mild and the traits are fully observed, Bayesian imputation is routine. In settings with high missingness...

How social ties transcend class boundaries? Network variability as tool for exploring occupational homophily
Publication date: July 2020Source: Social Networks, Volume 62Author(s): Dražen Cepić, Željka TonkovićAbstractThe research on social network analysis established the existence of class homophily, the tendency that personal networks are homogeneous in the class sense, as one of the governing patterns. This is explained via two main mechanisms: choice homophily and induced homophily. But the literature focused less on the question how can class boundaries be transgressed and what are the channels of class heterophily. This paper explores class heterophily on Croatian data acquired through position generator, which measure...

Breaking “bad” links: Impact of Companies Act 2013 on the Indian Corporate Network
Publication date: July 2020Source: Social Networks, Volume 62Author(s): Mayank Aggarwal, Anindya S. Chakrabarti, Pritha DevAbstractBoard interlock networks are known to exhibit concentration of influence by a small group of elites. In this paper, we study a policy intervention aiming to curb this influence. We analyze the evolution of Indian board interlocking network from 2008 to 2016, a period that covers pre- and post-enactment of government regulation (Companies Act, 2013) limiting the number of directorships held by a single director. We utilize this enactment as an exogenous shock to analyze its effects on architectu...

Lay theories of networking ability: Beliefs that inhibit instrumental networking
Publication date: July 2020Source: Social Networks, Volume 62Author(s): Ko Kuwabara, Xi Zou, Brandy Aven, Claudius Hildebrand, Sheena IyengarAbstractWhile touting the importance of building effective networks, scholars have paid far less attention to why so many people feel so ambivalent or conflicted about instrumental networking, and what can be done to change such attitudes. The present research provides the first empirical test of a novel theory, which argues that people are more likely to disengage from networking if they hold a “fixed theory” of networking ability—believing that how well one networks is fixed o...

Prestige in social dilemmas: A network analytic approach to cooperation among Bogotá’s art organizations
Publication date: Available online 6 January 2020Source: Social NetworksAuthor(s): Annatina AerneAbstractWhat brings about cooperation in social dilemmas? The literature has proposed motivational and strategic solutions to social dilemmas. In motivational solutions, actors cooperate because they care about fairness. In strategic solutions actors cooperate because their chances to exploit others are reduced. This paper argues that actors also cooperate in order to gain prestige. The effect of prestige on cooperation is examined relying on a unique set of network and covariate data on art organizations (museums, independent ...

Network stability in organizational flux: The case of in-house management consulting
This article explores the effects of organizational flux on the statics of interpersonal knowledge exchange structures. In our empirical case, organizational flux refers to high rates of personnel turnover, temporary project work, constant recombination of team memberships, and short-term collaboration. Network statics refers to the balance between forces composing and decomposing a network. Set in continuously changing organizational compositions of an in-house management-consulting unit, our study offers insights into the relationship between organizational characteristics and informal networks between experts. Against c...
