The <strong>Network</strong> Structure Of Competition Between Multipoint RivalsPallotti, Francesca; Mascia, Daniele; Lomi, AlessandroOrganizations and <strong>Network</strong>sHealthcare, Mutual Forbearence, Actor‐Based Stochastic ModelingSAT.PM2Organizations competing simultaneously across multiple markets, product lines, customer segments, or spatial locations are multipoint rivals. Almostregardless of the specific setting <strong>for</strong> the encounters, extant research reveals that multipoint rivals enjoy increased growth rates, experience improved survivalchances, are able to charge higher prices, and control more stable market shares. If competition across multiple markets is universally beneficial why don’t allorganizations increase their degree of multipoint contact with their rivals to share the benefits of mutual <strong>for</strong>bearance? This question shifts the focus ofattention from the consequences of multipoint competition to its antecedents. To examine this issue, in this paper we use data that we have collected onmultipoint contact between hospitals across twenty‐five major diagnostic categories during the period 2003‐2007. We estimate stochastic dynamic agentbasedmodels that specify the conditional probability of change in multipoint contact as a function of the presence of collaborative network ties, institutionaland organizational characteristics of the hospitals, and endogenous network mechanisms. In direct support of the mutual <strong>for</strong>bearance hypothesis, we find thatreciprocation and the existence of prior network ties make organizations more likely to enter market segments already occupied by rivals. We find, further,that multipoint contact is more likely to be established between organizations sharing the same rivals, i.e., between structurally equivalent organizations.Finally, we find that multipoint contact is characterized by significant self‐reproduction tendencies: high levels of multipoint competition lead to furtherincrease in multipoint contact. We take these results as evidence that access to the benefits that mutual <strong>for</strong>bearance potentially af<strong>for</strong>ds is controlled bynetwork‐based mechanisms of relational coordination between organizations.The <strong>Network</strong> Structure Of Cooperation In Voluntary DilemmasScholz, John T.; Ahn, T. K.Collaboration, coordination and cooperationDynamic <strong>Network</strong> Analysis, Experiments, Cooperation, Co‐evolution, Collaboration <strong>Network</strong>, Coordination GamesFRI.PM2<strong>Social</strong> capital theory argues that cooperators in the large class of dilemmas often appear in clusters, but is unclear about whether clustering enhancescooperation or cooperators seek each other to create clusters. We report voluntary exchange experiments in which subjects select their partners and playiterated prisoners dilemma games. We describe a cooperative quit‐<strong>for</strong>‐tat strategy that quits any relationship after a defection, consider the structuralimplications of this strategy, and show that this strategy is consistent with the experimental results. We argue that selection produces the observed clustering,but that this result is dependent on the limited population size and limited length of the experiment. When cooperators seek other cooperators, the structureof cooperation will depend on population size, characteristics of the search <strong>for</strong> new partners, and the time horizon <strong>for</strong> cooperators.
The Paradox Of Connection: <strong>Social</strong> <strong>Network</strong>s Of Parents Living In Extreme PovertyBess, Kimberly D.; Doykos, BernadetteQualitative and Mixed Method <strong>Network</strong> studies<strong>Social</strong> Support, <strong>Social</strong> Capital, Mixed Methods, Parenthood, Urban Neighbourhoods, PovertySAT.PM1Families living in extreme poverty face the daunting task of leveraging limited resources to provide <strong>for</strong> their children’s health, education, and safety. Whilesocial networks theoretically represent important sources of social capital that can benefit families, many parents in high‐crime urban neighborhoods reportthat they avoid connecting with others. <strong>Social</strong> relationships are perceived simultaneously as costly and a potential threat to survival. We examine this paradoxin a study of the social support networks of parents involved in a 10‐week parenting program. As part of a broader neighborhood‐based education initiative,Tied Together aims to break patterns of isolation and connect families to resources. Using a mixed‐method approach we examined change in parent networksover time. We employed a network mapping process to collect pre‐ and post‐program data of 30 participants’ social support networks and also conductedsemi‐structured post‐program interviews with parents. Through interviews we investigated participants’ perceptions of their networks and how programparticipation affected their relationships to neighbors and the community. Our analysis of network data yielded five distinct patterns that reveal subtlechanges in types of actor and ties. Analysis of interview data revealed connections that were less apparent in the quantitative data suggesting the ambivalenceparents experience in relationship to their own networks. This study raises questions about the role of alternative settings as venues <strong>for</strong> the development ofsocial support networks among parents living in extreme poverty as well as the limitations of such interventions in the absence of capital.The Personal <strong>Network</strong>s Of Homeless People Living In Los Angeles County: An Investigation Of The Multiple Levels Of Unprotected SexKennedy, David P.; Tucker, Joan; Green, Hank; Wenzel, Suzanne ; Munjas, Brett; Zhou, AnnieEgocentric <strong>Network</strong>sHIV Risk, Personal <strong>Network</strong>s, Homeless, Multilevel ModelsFRI.AM2This paper will present analyses of over 700 personal networks of homeless people in Los Angeles County to better understand the social context ofunprotected sex. We use multi‐level modeling with a one‐to‐many dyadic analysis design to investigate the predictors of sex without condoms betweenhomeless respondents and particular partners. Previous studies have investigated condom use primarily at the individual level. This paper will examinepredictors of unprotected sex at multiple levels: the partnership (e.g., characteristics of partners, such as perceived risky characteristics; characteristics ofrelationships with these partners, such as level of commitment to the relationship and relationship quality; history of abuse within the relationships; cooccurrenceof substance use and sex), the individual respondent (e.g., demographic characteristics; depression; beliefs about condoms, pregnancy, and HIV),and the respondent’s social network (e.g., compositional characteristics, such as level of risky behavior in the network; structural characteristics of thenetwork, such as density, number of components, number of isolates, etc.). We will also analyze the association between alter level network characteristics(degree centrality, being an isolate, betweenness, etc.) and likelihood to engage in unprotected sex with this partner. To further explore the context of risky sexand our initial findings, we will present analysis of qualitative data collected with a sample of homeless respondents who were shown their personal networksand asked to describe the characteristics of components, isolates, and key alters who influence their decisions about sex and substance use.
