Experimental
Exchange Networks
Experimental exchange
networks is an area of study in which subjects are brought into a lab
and asked to play a game in which they must try to get as many points as
possible. In each round, they are given 24 points to divide up with an
exchange partner. The experimenter arranges the people into networks of
who can exchange with whom. Initially, it was thought that centrality
would determine point-getting, but this is not true.
