We explore the asymptotic properties of strategic models of network formation in very large populations. Specifically, we focus on (undirected) exponential random graph models. We want to recover a ...

Venture capital firms use a variety of accumulated resources to inform their investment activities, but do the rely solely on their own resources or do they employ other firms' resources to complement ...

This lecture course is devoted to the study of random geometrical objects and structures. Among the most prominent models are random polytopes, random tessellations, particle processes and random ...

This Non Technical Summary does not constitute part of the above-captioned Discussion Paper but has been prepared for the purpose of providing a bold outline of the paper, based on findings from the ...

Six years ago, Afonso Bandeira and Shuyang Ling were attempting to come up with a better way to discern clusters in enormous data sets when they stumbled into a surreal world. Ling realized that the ...

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 ...
