Research Focus:


Conformism and anti-conformism are well-studied phenomenon in an anonymous network. The introduction of non-anonymity in the graph structures brings into relevance graph theoretic considerations apart from the game theoretic ones. The research focus includes:

 

  1. Studying graph theoretic structures like the Nested Split Graph in this context.

This requires an analysis of the properties associated with such Random Graph Models.

  1. Randomization of the process of network formation


The inferential methods will see a change when randomization is taken into account in this regard.

 

  1. Studying applications of such concepts in Behavioral Finance

This involves the application of Social Network Analysis in Finance.
