Abstract
This paper presents a simple mechanism for quantifying the superadditivity which a network creates by virtue of the way in which it is connected. The mechanism is grounded in a process of information sharing by nodes and is, in a sense, an extension of Bonacich's (1972) centrality measure. The paper develops the mechanism and examines its characteristics.
