Sommario/riassunto

Networks pervade social and economic life, and they play a prominent role in explaining a huge variety of social and economic phenomena.



Standard economic theory did not give much credit to the role of networks until the early 1990's, but since then the study of the theory of networks has blossomed. At the heart of this research is the idea that the pattern of connections between individual rational agents shapes their actions and determines their rewards. The importance of connections has in turn motivated the study of the very processes by which networks are formed. In Connections, Sanjeev Goyal puts contemporary thinking about networks and economic activity into context. He develops a general framework within which this body of research can be located. In the first part of the book he demonstrates that location in a network has significant effects on individual rewards and that, given this, it is natural that individuals will seek to form connections to move the network in their favor. This idea motivates the second part of the book, which develops a general theory of network formation founded on individual incentives. Goyal assesses the robustness of current research findings and identifies the substantive open questions. Written in a style that combines simple examples with formal models and complete mathematical proofs, Connections is a concise and self-contained treatment of the economic theory of networks, one that should become the natural source of reference for graduate students in economics and related disciplines.

Sommario/riassunto

"Allant au-delà des apparences d'équivalence entre les systèmes éducatifs sur lesquelles se fondent les évaluations internationales, cet ouvrage s'attache à révéler les conceptions profondes de l'éducation qui irriguent les lycées dans trois systèmes éducatifs, l'anglais, l'italien et le français. L'originalité et l'intérêt de l'ouvrage résident dans le choix de l'auteure de mettre au centre de son analyse le curriculum, en révélant les expériences d'apprentissage et les différentes visions de l'éducation qu'ils expriment, de façon explicite ou non. Ainsi, la formation du lycéen 'expert' en Angleterre contraste-t-elle avec celle du lycéen 'cultivé' en Italie et du lycéen que l'école formate d'abord, en France, sans qu'on en ait conscience, comme 'stratège.'  Cette exploration internationale permet de mieux comprendre les enjeux liés aux réformes des curricula, à l'utilisation de la comparaison en éducation et à la définition de ce qu'est le lycée au sein d'une société."--Back cover.
