Research Interests

My fields of research are the formation of socio-economic networks and coalitions, and how networks affect behaviour and economic outcomes. My recent work has focused on the patterns of links formation among heterogeneous agents, on the implied segregation and discrimination patterns and on the phenomenon of homophily.

Recent papers on these subjects include:

- Homophily and Long Run Integration in Social Networks, Journal of Economic Theory, forthcoming 2012 (with Y. Bramouille, M. Jackson, P. Pin and B. Rogers), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jet.2012.05.007 Download

- An Economic Model of Friendship: Homophily, Minorities and Segregation, Econometrica 77 (4), 1003-1045, 2009 (with M.O. Jackson and P. Pin).
