Polarization in Networks: Identification-alienation Framework

No 13/2020, Department for Strategy and Innovation Working Paper Series from WU Vienna University of Economics and Business

Abstract: We introduce a model of polarization in networks as a unifying setting for the measurement of polarization that covers a wide range of applications. We consider a substantially general setup for this purpose: node-and edge-weighted, undirected, and connected networks. We generalize the axiomatic characterization of Esteban and Ray (1994) and show that only a particular instance within this class can be used justifiably to measure polarization in networks.
