課程概述 |
Social networks provide opportunities for individuals in spreading information, such as the experience sharing of a new product. They facilitate the borrowing and lending, such as the emergence of microfinance. They also influence the collective actions, as we may influence our friends’ political inclinations as well as their voting behaviors. While the social network portrays the delineation of the relationship between individuals, this course provides an overview on current economic research that intends to understand the interaction between social networks and economic behaviors.
This course is theory-based and self-contained. The students are encouraged, but not required, to acknowledge basic game theory and graph theory.
