Economic activity takes place at the intersection of the global (large firms, international markets and the state) and the local (the overlapping neighbourhoods of friends, family and colleagues, buyers and suppliers). Networks offer a framework that combines local interactions within large interconnected populations.
Cambridge economists working on networks constitute one of the strongest cluster of researchers in this field, anywhere in the world. The group is distinctive its broad expertise that covers theory, experiments (field, laboratory and online) and statistical analyses with Big Data. The group collaborates extensively across disciplines - with computer scientists, engineers, statisticians, physicists and social psychologists.
This research cluster has four themes:
