报告内容简介:
Much empiricalevidence shows that individuals usually exhibit significant homophily in socialnetworks. We demonstrate, however, skill complementarity enhances heterophilyin the formation of collaboration networks, where people prefer to forge socialties with people who have professions different from their own. We construct amodel to quantify the heterophily by assuming that individuals choosecollaborators to maximize utility. Using a huge database of online societies,we find evidence of heterophily in collaboration networks. The results of modelcalibration confirm the presence of heterophily. Both empirical analysis andmodel calibration show that the heterophilous feature is persistent along theevolution of online societies. Furthermore, the degree of skill complementarityis positively correlated with their production output. Our work sheds new lighton the scientific research utility of virtual worlds for studying humanbehaviors in complex socioeconomic systems.
