Networks, Topology and Dynamics: Theory and Applications to Economics and Social Systems

There is convergent consensus among scientists that many social, economic and financial phenomena can be described by a network of agents and their inter— tions. Surprisingly, even though the application fields are quite different, those n— works often show a common behaviour. Thus, their topological properties can give useful insights on how the network is structured, which are the most “important” nodes/agents, how the network reacts to new arrivals. Moreover the network, once included in...
