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:
- 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.
- Randomization of the process of network formation
The inferential methods will see a change when randomization is taken into account in this regard.
- Studying applications of such concepts in Behavioral Finance
This involves the application of Social Network Analysis in Finance.
