Schelling, Kleinberg, and Power of Networks in Investing
Pardon this bit of unabashed fan-boy geeky-ness, but I wish I was at Cornell this Fall. I would love to take Jon Kleinberg's new course "The Structure of Information Networks". (Why can't Cornell do an MIT and put this video online?)This is a hot area, which is one admitted attraction, and one in which Kleinberg is a star, which is another attraction, but there are so many interesting applications of information networks in finance and elsewhere.
Here, for example, is a set of hits from Google Scholar on board of directors, investing, and underlying networks.
And it is a good reminder to read Tom Schelling's classic "Micromotives and Macrobehavior", if you haven't already done so.
