This paper quantifies the effect of state privacy regulation on the diffusion of electronic medical records (EMRs). EMRs allow medical providers to store and exchange patient information using computers rather than paper records. Hospitals may be more likely to adopt EMRs if they can reassure patients that their confidentiality is legally protected. Alternatively, privacy protection may inhibit adoption if hospitals cannot benefit from easily exchanging patient information. We find that state privacy regulation restricting hospital release of health information reduces aggregate EMR adoption by hospitals by more than 24%. We present evidence that suggests that this is due to the suppression of network externalities.
本文量化了国家隐私法规对电子病历(EMRs)传播的影响。电子病历允许医疗提供者使用计算机而不是纸质记录来存储和交换患者信息。如果医院能向病人保证他们的隐私受到法律保护,他们可能更有可能采用电子病历。另外,如果医院不能从轻松交换患者信息中获益,隐私保护可能会抑制采用。我们发现,限制医院发布健康信息的国家隐私法规使医院的电子病历采用率降低了24%以上。我们提出的证据表明,这是由于网络外部性的抑制。

Indirect Reciprocity in Online Social Networks - A Longitudinal Analysis of Individual Contributions and Peer Enforcement in a Peer-to-Peer Music Sharing Network 在线社会网络中的间接互惠——对点对点音乐共享网络中个人贡献和同伴执行的纵向分析

Indirect reciprocity is an important factor that motivates individual contributions in social networks. However, prior studies of indirect reciprocity are often limited to a snapshot view of individual interactions in social environments. This paper analyzes indirect reciprocity from a dynamic perspective in the context of a peer-to-peer music sharing network. We have two main findings. First, we reveal that indirect reciprocity is a dynamic social force. An individual's likelihood of contribution changes with the social environment, particularly with others' contribution levels in the network. The individual increases her contribution probability when she observes an increase in the number of contributors while decreases her contribution probability when she observes an increase in the number of free riders. Second, we find that indirect reciprocity is a social norm that is voluntarily enforced by contributors in the network. They do so through the setting of servers to discriminate downloaders. When the number of free riders increases, a contributor is more likely to change the server settings to provide preferential services to other contributors and lesser services to free riders. Our results indicate that indirect reciprocity plays a key role in sustaining private contributions to social networks.
间接互惠是激励个人在社会网络中做出贡献的重要因素。然而,先前对间接互惠的研究往往局限于对社会环境中个人互动的快照视图。本文从动态角度分析了点对点音乐共享网络中的间接互惠关系。我们有两个主要发现。首先,我们揭示了间接互惠是一种动态的社会力量。个体的贡献可能性随着社会环境的变化而变化,特别是随着网络中其他人的贡献水平而变化。当个体观察到贡献者数量增加时,其贡献概率增加,而当个体观察到搭便车者数量增加时,其贡献概率降低。其次,我们发现间接互惠是一种社会规范,由网络中的贡献者自愿执行。他们通过设置服务器来区分下载者。当搭便车者的数量增加时,一个贡献者更有可能改变服务器设置,为其他贡献者提供优惠服务,为搭便车者提供较少的服务。我们的研究结果表明,间接互惠在维持个人对社会网络的贡献方面起着关键作用。

From Each According to Media? Testing Wellman's Theory of Networked Individualism 从各媒体看?检验威尔曼的网络个人主义理论
Pub Date : 2009-01-14 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1331009

Wellman's networked individualism suggests a social shift from group-oriented interactions to more person-to-person contact. He contends that this shift is associated with a rise in person-to-person media and individually tailored use of such media. I analyze this claim using data collected by Wellman and colleagues in Toronto, Canada. The analysis reveals that there is significant heterogeneity in both network structure and media use. However, using both conventional and novel metrics for this heterogeneity, I demonstrate that person-to-person media behaviors are not significantly associated with differences in network structure. As such, while we may think of their being networked individualistic structures and networked individualistic practices, these two are not mutually constitutive.
威尔曼的网络个人主义理论表明,社会将从以群体为导向的互动转向更多的人与人之间的接触。他认为,这种转变与个人对个人媒体的兴起以及对此类媒体的个性化使用有关。我用Wellman和他在加拿大多伦多的同事收集的数据来分析这一说法。分析表明,网络结构和媒介使用都存在显著的异质性。然而,通过对这种异质性使用传统的和新颖的度量,我证明了人与人之间的媒体行为与网络结构的差异并没有显著的关联。因此,虽然我们可能认为它们是网络化的个人主义结构和网络化的个人主义实践,但这两者并不是相互构成的。

Applying Relation Algebra and Relview to Measures in a Social Network 关系代数与回顾在社会网络测度中的应用
Pub Date : 2009-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1334123

We present an application of relation algebra to measure agents' 'strength' in a social network with influence between agents. In particular, we deal with power, success, and influence of an agent as measured by the generalized Hoede-Bakker index and its modifications, and by the influence indices. We also apply relation algebra to determine followers of a coalition and the kernel of an influence function. This leads to specifications, which can be executed with the help of the BDD-based tool RelView after a simple translation into the tool's programming language. As an example we consider the present Dutch parliament.
我们提出了一种应用关系代数来衡量具有相互影响的社会网络中的主体“强度”的方法。特别地,我们用广义Hoede-Bakker指数及其修正和影响力指数来衡量代理人的权力、成功和影响力。我们还应用关系代数来确定联盟的追随者和影响函数的核。这就产生了规范,这些规范可以在基于bdd的工具RelView的帮助下执行,只需将其简单地翻译成工具的编程语言。我们以目前的荷兰议会为例。

The Impact of Sampling and Network Topology on the Estimation of Social Inter-Correlations 抽样和网络拓扑对社会相互关系估计的影响
Pub Date : 2008-12-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1319699

Understanding and measuring social inter-correlations among consumers are important for marketing researchers as consumers form social networks and their behavior and preference are likely to be interdependent. In this paper, we show that the estimation of consumers' social inter-correlations can be significantly affected by the sampling method used for the study and the topology of the consumers' social network. Specifically, from the estimations results of a spatial model on 14,400 simulated data sets generated with various sampling procedures and network topology, we find that the magnitude of social inter-correlations in consumer networks tend to be underestimated if samples of the networks are taken for conducting the estimations. We further demonstrate that snowball sampling performs better than simple random sampling in estimating the magnitude of social inter-correlations, but the advantage of snowball sampling over simple random sampling reduces in networks characterized with the scale-free power-law distribution for the number of connections of each member. In general, the downward bias in the estimation of social inter-correlations worsens in networks following the scale-free power-law degree distribution when snowball sampling is used. We also discuss the intuitions behind those findings as well as the implications and limitations of them in the paper.
了解和衡量消费者之间的社会相互关系对市场研究人员来说很重要,因为消费者形成了社会网络,他们的行为和偏好可能是相互依存的。在本文中,我们证明了消费者社会相互关系的估计会受到研究中使用的抽样方法和消费者社会网络拓扑结构的显著影响。具体来说,通过对14400个不同采样程序和网络拓扑生成的模拟数据集的空间模型的估计结果,我们发现,如果采取网络样本进行估计,消费者网络中社会相互关系的程度往往被低估。我们进一步证明,雪球抽样比简单随机抽样在估计社会相互关系的大小方面表现得更好,但在每个成员的连接数量以无标度幂律分布为特征的网络中,雪球抽样比简单随机抽样的优势减弱。一般来说,当使用雪球抽样时,在遵循无标度幂律度分布的网络中,社会相互关系估计的向下偏差会恶化。我们还在论文中讨论了这些发现背后的直觉以及它们的含义和局限性。

A Comparison of On and Offline Networks through the Facebook API 通过Facebook API对在线和离线网络进行比较
Pub Date : 2008-12-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1331029
B. Hogan
Social Network Sites (SNS) are a part of everyday social activity for millions around the world (boyd and Ellison, 2007). Sites vary in their affordances, audiences and scope. While some sites cater to specific interest group audiences and 'niche' networks, others, such as Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace are designed to be general purpose 'social utilities'. Are these sites in fact general purpose social utilities? If so, we should expect to find not only an overlap between the pre-existing personal network and the Facebook network, but also a logic that can connect the two. At present, a host of studies are emerging that take Facebook networks as a stand-in for the 'real' social networks of individuals. The study of community structure through Facebook is meant to signify actual community structure (Traud, Kelsic, Mucha, and Porter, 2008). The study of taste on Facebook is meant to signify actual differences and clusters in taste (Lewis, Kaufman, Gonzalez, Wimmer, and Christakis, 2008). These studies, by virtue of their research design, do not actually measure or examine the personal network. Instead, they capture a slice of Facebook's database and assert that for the group in question (generally college students), it is a reliable proxy for the network of active ties. However, if we are to continue down this road, it is important to connect these networks to the pre-existing studies of personal networks and networking. This enables researchers to leverage past insights on personal networks (such as theories of foci, closure, multiplexity and so forth, c.f., Fischer, 1982) and because it is an important validity check on these online networks. This paper is a research outline and a preliminary quantitative autoanalysis of the relationship between the personal network and one's Facebook network. Insofar as Facebook is the most popular social utility for individuals in the United Kingdom and Canada, it is an ideal candidate to examine how personal networks manifest themselves online (or to the extent that they do so).
社交网站(SNS)是世界各地数百万人日常社交活动的一部分(boyd和Ellison, 2007)。网站的功能、受众和范围各不相同。虽然有些网站迎合特定兴趣群体的受众和“利基”网络,但其他网站,如Facebook、LinkedIn和MySpace,旨在成为通用的“社交工具”。这些网站实际上是通用的社会公用事业吗?如果是这样的话,我们不仅可以在现有的个人网络和Facebook网络之间找到重叠,而且还可以找到将两者连接起来的逻辑。目前,许多研究都将Facebook网络作为个人“真实”社交网络的替代品。通过Facebook对社区结构的研究是为了反映实际的社区结构(Traud, Kelsic, Mucha, and Porter, 2008)。对Facebook上的味道的研究是为了表明味道的实际差异和集群(Lewis, Kaufman, Gonzalez, Wimmer, and Christakis, 2008)。这些研究,由于其研究设计,并没有实际测量或检查个人网络。相反,他们获取了Facebook数据库的一小部分,并断言,对于所讨论的群体(通常是大学生),它是活跃关系网络的可靠代理。然而,如果我们要继续沿着这条路走下去,将这些网络与已有的个人网络和网络研究联系起来是很重要的。这使研究人员能够利用过去对个人网络的见解(如焦点、封闭、多样性等理论,c.f. Fischer, 1982),因为这是对这些在线网络的重要有效性检查。本文是对个人网络和Facebook网络之间关系的研究大纲和初步定量分析。鉴于Facebook是英国和加拿大最受个人欢迎的社交工具,它是检验个人网络如何在网上表现自己(或在某种程度上如此)的理想候选者。

Minding the Cognition: Toward a Strategic Knowledge Management for Competitive Advantage 关注认知:走向竞争优势的战略知识管理
Pub Date : 2008-12-01 DOI: 10.1002/JSC.822
Senthilkumar Muthusamy
The knowledge base of an organization is considered its intellectual capital, and is increasingly emphasized as a vital source of competitive advantage. Engineering, managing, and leveraging knowledge (individual-, group-, and organizational-level knowledge) are becoming strategic activities in many organizations for achieving competitive advantage.In this context, building organizational capabilities to acquire, create, and disseminate knowledge on a continual basis has become a key challenge for strategy and organizational design experts. While the research and practice in this regard has focused extensively on Information Technology (IT) capabilities for building knowledge communities, the process dimension of learning, knowledge creation, and dissemination has received less attention.This paper articulates the need for cultivating the various learning as well as sociocognitive routines to create and leverage knowledge and suggests how this approach would help formulate better strategies and enhance employees' commitment.This article also highlights the importance of a dynamic approach to managing organizational cognition, a critical factor in organization survival. We further discuss the implications for strategic management and organization development practices.
一个组织的知识基础被认为是它的智力资本,并且越来越被强调为竞争优势的重要来源。工程、管理和利用知识(个人、团体和组织层面的知识)正在成为许多组织实现竞争优势的战略活动。在这种情况下,在持续的基础上建立组织获取、创造和传播知识的能力已经成为战略和组织设计专家面临的一个关键挑战。虽然这方面的研究和实践主要集中在信息技术(IT)构建知识社区的能力上,但对学习、知识创造和传播的过程维度的关注较少。本文阐明了培养各种学习和社会认知惯例来创造和利用知识的必要性,并提出了这种方法如何有助于制定更好的战略和提高员工的承诺。本文还强调了动态方法管理组织认知的重要性,这是组织生存的关键因素。我们进一步讨论了战略管理和组织发展实践的含义。

In this paper we discuss finite economies with the presence of transaction costs and with decreasing, constant or increasing returns. In general such an economy may have no general equilibrium existence and may even have an empty core. We analyse the trading networks of such an economy, introducing the concepts of locally stable network structure, un-dominated locally stable network structures and most stable network structures. We point out that the set of most stable network structures could be treated as a solution concept for the empty core economies both in theoretical analysis and in application.

We analyse the trading networks of such an economy, introducing the concepts of locally stable network structure, un-dominated locally stable network structures and most stable network structures. We point out that the set of most stable network structures could be treated as a solution concept for the empty core economies both in theoretical analysis and in application.

Libraries tend to be associated with books, but in practice they have lent a variety of media to meet the interests and media practices of their users. Early in the twentieth century, public libraries circulated images, e.g. photographs, prints, and lantern slides. They also lent music scores and player piano rolls. Early in the twenty-first century, audio recordings and video disks account for roughly 25% of public libraries' total circulation. Libraries have adapted to media change in the past and they are likely to continue to adapt to media change in the future.
图书馆往往与书籍联系在一起,但在实践中,图书馆借出了各种媒体,以满足用户的兴趣和媒体实践。在二十世纪早期,公共图书馆传播图像,如照片、印刷品和幻灯片。他们还借出乐谱和钢琴卷。在21世纪初,录音和视频光盘大约占公共图书馆总发行量的25%。图书馆在过去已经适应了媒体的变化,未来也可能继续适应媒体的变化。
