Homophily and Specialization in Networks
In this paper, players contribute to two local public goods for which they have different tastes and sponsor costly links to enjoy the provision of others. In equilibrium, either there are several contributors specialized in public good provision or only two contributors who are not entirely specialized. Higher linking costs have a non-monotonic impact on welfare and polarization, as they affect who specializes in public good provision. When the available budget is small, subsidies should be given to players who already specialize in public good provision; otherwise, they should target only one player who specializes in public good provision.

Homophily and infections: static and dynamic effects
We analyze the effect of homophily in the diffusion of a harmful state between two groups of agents that differ in immunization rates. Homophily has a very different impact on the steady state infection level (that is in…
FedSPA: Generalizable Federated Graph Learning under Homophily Heterogeneity
Federated Graph Learning (FGL) has emerged as a solution to address real-world privacy concerns and data silos in graph learning, which relies on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). Nevertheless, the homophily level discre…
Graph LearningRevisiting Graph Homophily Measures
Homophily is a graph property describing the tendency of edges to connect similar nodes. There are several measures used for assessing homophily but all are known to have certain drawbacks: in particular, they cannot be …
AllWhat Is Missing In Homophily? Disentangling Graph Homophily For Graph Neural Networks
Graph homophily refers to the phenomenon that connected nodes tend to share similar characteristics. Understanding this concept and its related metrics is crucial for designing effective Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). The…
Stochastic Block ModelOn Performance Discrepancies Across Local Homophily Levels in Graph Neural Networks
Graph Neural Network (GNN) research has highlighted a relationship between high homophily (i.e., the tendency of nodes of the same class to connect) and strong predictive performance in node classification. However, rece…
