Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation consists of three essays that study the implications of the reciprocity between interfirm networks and governance choice and the interactions between resource stocks for organizational governance, interfirm network evolution, and corporate strategy. The first essay examines the impact of organizational governance choice on interfirm networks. Interfirm networks literature in strategy has exerted significant influence on organizational governance literature, by finding the roles of social mechanisms, which are embedded in the networks of interfirm relations, in economic exchanges. However, according to the findings of this study, apparently significant impact of networks on governance is in fact a manifestation of the impact of governance on networks, under certain conditions. Using transaction cost economic, resource based theory, and network theory, this study identifies such boundary conditions by linking exchange conditions, which determine organizational governance choice, with network constructs such as tie strength, network centrality, and clustering. The second essay looks at the determinants of the value of combined resource stocks, primarily from resource attribute level and from dyad and industry structure levels of analysis. In addition, this study examines the implications of sub-additivity in resource combination for M and A and the resource based view. Previous research has generally assumed additivity or super-additivity in resource combinations. This study argues that the value of the firm can diminish substantially due to irrecoverable overlaps between the combining firms' resources. This research identifies intra- and inter-firm transferability (i.e., fungibility and tradability) of firm resources as key conditions under which value can be destroyed in resource combinations. The counter-intuitive implications of our study help re-interpret the previous mixed empirical findings in the M and A literature. The third essay examines heterogeneity in governance choice, from a network based view. Whereas previous studies on network embeddedness found the existence of social mechanisms in economic exchanges, those are silent about the heterogeneity in governance choices shaped by network conditions. Once a causal link from governance to networks is considered, governance heterogeneity becomes an important issue. This research provides empirical findings that network attributes, such as network centrality similarity and network cluster co-location, determine the choice between alliance and M and A governance. Furthermore, this study finds evidence that indicates that only when resource based and network based perspectives are deployed together, non-biased analyses of governance choice are ensured. From methodology standpoint, the first essay develops a formal model of endogenous network formation and governance choice and the second essay a formal model of resource combinations. The first and second essays deploy agent based simulation methodology, and the third essay uses statistical analyses with field data.

Book excerpt: In all social and economic interactions, individuals or coalitions choose not only with whom to interact but how to interact, and over time both the structure (the "with whom") and the strategy ("the how") of interactions change. Our objectives here are to model the structure and strategy of interactions prevailing at any point in time as a directed network and to address the following open question in the theory of social and economic network formation: given the rules of network and coalition formation, the preferences of individuals over networks, the strategic behavior of coalitions in forming networks, and the trembles of nature, what network and coalitional dynamics are likely to emergence and persist. Our main contributions are (i) to formulate the problem of network and coalition formation as a dynamic, stochastic game, (ii) to show that this game possesses a stationary correlated equilibrium (in network and coalition formation strategies), (iii) to show that, together with the trembles of nature, this stationary correlated equilibrium determines an equilibrium Markov process of network and coalition formation which respects the rules of network and coalition formation and the preferences of individuals, and (iv) to show that, although uncountably many networks may form, this endogenous process of network and coalition formation possesses a nonempty finite set of ergodic measures and generates a finite, disjoint collection of nonempty subsets of networks and coalitions, each constituting a basin of attraction. Moreover, we extend to the setting of endogenous Markov dynamics the notions of pairwise stability (Jackson-Wolinsky, 1996), strong stability (Jackson-van den Nouweland, 2005), and Nash stability (Bala-Goyal, 2000), and we show that in order for any network-coalition pair to be stable (pairwise, strong, or Nash) it is necessary and sufficient that the pair reside in one of finitely many basins of attraction - and hence reside in the support of an ergodic measure. The results we obtain here for endogenous network dynamics and stochastic basins of attraction are the dynamic analogs of our earlier results on endogenous network formation and strategic basins of attraction in static, abstract games of network formation (Page and Wooders, 2008), and build on the seminal contributions of Jackson and Watts (2002), Konishi and Ray (2003), and Dutta, Ghosal, and Ray (2005).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose a model where forward-looking agents first decide to form links with each other and, then, engage in a production activity jointly with their linked peers. Exogenous linking opportunities facilitate the creation of network connections and the return to productive effort varies with the personal attributes of the connected agents. We apply our model to a purposely built dataset of college students containing information on the endogeneous networks of study partners linked with administrative records on the students' characteristics and academic performance. Identification relies upon the random assignment of students to classrooms, which generates exogenous opportunities for socialisation. Using the estimated structural parameters, we investigate the implications of two counterfactual experiments, one where students are streamed into classes by ability and one with single-sex classes.

This book was released on 2006-03-09 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the mechanism of a socio-economic system requires more than an understanding of the individuals that comprise the system. It also requires understanding how individuals interact with each other, and how the agg- gated outcome can be more than the sum of individual behaviors. This book contains the papers fostering the formation of an active multi-disciplinary community on socio-economic systems with the exciting new ?elds of age- based modeling and econophysics. We especially intend to increase the awareness of researchers in many ?elds with sharing the common view many economic and social activities as collectives of a large-scale heterogeneous and interacting agents. Economists seek to understand not only how individuals behave but also how the interaction of many individuals leads to complex outcomes. Age- based modeling is a method for studying socio-economic systems exhibiting the following two properties: (1) the system is composed of interacting agents, and (2) the system exhibits emergent properties, that is, properties arising from the interactions of the agents that cannot be deduced simply by agg- gating the properties of the system’s components. When the interaction of the agents is contingent on past experience, and especially when the agents continually adapt to that experience, mathematical analysis is typically very limited in its ability to derive the outcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We experimentally explore public good production levels, and the endogenous formation of network structures to facilitate output sharing, among agents with heterogeneous production costs or valuations. Results corroborate the key theoretical insights of Kinateder & Merlino (2017) characterizing how agents form core-periphery networks. However, subjects often produce more and form denser networks than predicted, which sometimes reduces efficiency. There is some tendency for behaviour to converge towards the theoretical equilibrium over repeated play. Our results help us understand the emergence of the "law of the few" in real-world networks, and suggest it is driven by endogenous sorting of heterogeneous agents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way people form groups when facing a coordination problem poses an economically interesting question. This paper addresses the issue of what type of clubs are formed when players must participate in a public goods game with the other players belonging to their selected club. A sequential two-stage approach is used to separate network formation decisions and public goods decisions and apply farsighted stability to characterize the network structures that emerge and persist as a result of this sequence of stages. Criteria are established based on the player size and network parameters for determining the outcomes belonging to two types of stable solution sets: basins of attraction and the path dominance core. Both solution sets provide predictions for the types of clubs that will form within the defined framework.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dispersed Manufacturing Networks provides new perspectives of dispersed manufacturing systems from three points of view. The first is that offered by complex systems theory, particularly on how agents in these industrial networks interact and how that provides possibility for coordination. The book also elaborates on issues of coordination and planning, as well as examining new solutions and challenges for logistics problems and collaboration in engineering networks within the internationalisation perspective. The impact of globalization is discussed for both managerial decision-making and operational performance of supply chains. A strong emphasis is placed on the need for continuous decision-making with recognition of the fact that networks of loosely connected agents require different approaches. Both researchers and professionals will welcome Dispersed Manufacturing Networks. It is an informative guide for those researching and working across a range of fields.
