Funded Activity Summary

Advancing network statistical models for social and economic behaviour. This project aims to improve our understanding of how social networks affect social and economic behaviour. Social networks underpin our everyday lives and are fundamental to issues such as disease transmission and healthcare system design. It has long been recognised that existing models of social and economic behaviour are missing critical unmeasured elements. In many instances, these are the invisible connections between people and organisations that allow bonds of trust to form and informal information to flow. Network analysis can elucidate these hidden channels. This project aims to develop a statistical co-evolution modelling framework for social networks for both cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. Further, the project aims to deliver advanced network modelling software.
