Network Centrality & Power

Network

Topology: Random (Erdős-Rényi) Star Cycle Hierarchical Clique + periphery Nodes N: 10 Avg degree z: 3 β (power reflection): 0.5

β>0: being connected to powerful nodes helps (positive). β<0: being connected to powerful nodes hurts (negative — useful in exchange networks).
