Given these three concerns, we employ the exponential random graph model (ERGM) developed in network science literature (e.g. Snijders 2002, Robins et al. 2007), which can simultaneously account for ...

The ecology of games is operationalized as a bipartite network with actors participating in institutions, and exponential random graph models are used to test hypotheses about the structural features ...

We also collected social network data on individual farmers across five communities. This empirical evidence was derived from primary fieldwork conducted in the Ghanaian semideciduous cocoa (Theobroma ...

This paper assesses whether cross-border M&A decisions exhibit network effects. We estimate exponential random graph models (ERGM) and temporal exponential random graph models (TERGM) to evaluate the ...

In a second step, weights are allocated to a sampled adjacency matrix via an exponential random graph model (ERGM) that fulfills the desired row, column and block weights. This model is analytically ...

Professor Philip Leifeld (Department of Social Statistics) has published a new article in the prestigious journal Social Networks. In the paper, Leifeld and his colleagues present a Bayesian framework ...

Applying the exponential random graph model (Robins et al. 2007) to the investment data of Japanese venture capital (VC) firms, we document the relationship between VC performance and the dynamics of ...
