Network Heterogeneity and Value of Information
This paper studies how payoff heterogeneity affects the value of information in beauty contest games. I show that public information provision is detrimental to welfare if and only if agents' Katz-Bonacich centralities exhibit specific forms of heterogeneity, stemming from the network of coordination motives. A key insight is that agents may value the commonality of information so differently that some are harmed by their neighbors knowing what others know. Leveraging this insight, I also show that when the commonality of information is endogenously determined through information sharing, the equilibrium degree of information sharing can be inefficiently low, even without sharing costs.

Detecting Quality Problems in Data Models by Clustering Heterogeneous Data Values
Data is of high quality if it is fit for its intended use. The quality of data is influenced by the underlying data model and its quality. One major quality problem is the heterogeneity of data as quality aspects such as…
