Current research project


Project leader of the High Potential Program "Dynamics of Cooperation, Networks and Institutions" (Dyconi) of the University of Utrecht granted in 2004, together with Vincent Buskens (ICS, UU).  This program studies network formation and cooperation under different institutional arrangements. The aim of the program is to develop innovative theory on the emergence and stability of cooperative relations and to test this theory with complementary data from experiments and research on alliance formation among firms. The program integrates theoretical, experimental, and field research approaches from economics and sociology. Theoretically, we combine game-theoretic models and agent-based simulations with sociological theories on the advantages of certain social network positions. Experiments in which partner choice and cooperative behaviour can be studied dynamically provide a rigorous test of our theories. Alliance formation among firms is chosen as an application on the interface of organizational sociology and industrial economics in order to test the theory in the field.
