Agent-based multi-edge network simulation model for knowledge diffusion through board interlocks
作者：
Highlights：
• Propose a hybrid model for knowledge diffusion through board interlocks.
• Propose an agent-based simulation algorithm for diffusion analysis
• Test the hypothesis that director’s affinity affects diffusion rates.
• Diffusion patterns among Indian listed companies are analysed.
• Indian company network shows uniformity in diffusion across clusters.
