ERICES

This main objective is subdivided into in the following sub-lines:

To develop new measures of connectivity and dynamics of networks that allow a global analysis to study the problem. We want to improve our understanding of the structural complexity of networks through the application of the algebraic topology tools to allow for a better knowledge of the degree of connectivity or isolation if these networks.
To design new models of information diffusion in Interactive social networks. More specifically, a) the strategic considerations that affect the diffusion of information among agents across the network and b) the dynamic process used to extend the diffusion of information in a social network depending on its architecture.
In the third sub-line, we use the concepts of the network formation theory to several market problems. We evaluate the efficiency and the stability of endogenously formed networks for the case in which firms develop activities of investment in R&D, production and distribution
