Abstract

Business Business & Economics Social Sciences
Networks are ubiquitous in life, structuring options available for choice and influencing their relative attractiveness. In this article, we propose an integration of network science and choice theory beyond merely incorporating metrics from one area into models of the other. We posit a typology and framework for "network-choice models" that highlight the distinct ways choices occur in and influence networked environments, as well as two specific feedback processes that guide their mutual interaction,emergent valuationandcontingent options. In so doing, we discuss examples, data sources, methodological challenges, anticipated benefits, and research pathways to fully interweave network and choice models.
