Network Structure, Political Hierarchy, and Economic Inequality: An Interdisciplinary Workshop and Training Program

该奖项支持由Samuel Bowles博士和Paul Hooper博士共同组织并在圣达菲研究所举行的研讨会。讲习班将汇集社交网络理论文献的主要贡献者、人类学家和其他实地研究人员，利用网络技术研究小规模社会的社会结构。目标是：（a）通过将网络理论应用于大量数据中来丰富网络理论，以试图回答政治等级制度和经济不平等等核心社会科学问题;（B）提高实地工作者在网络定量研究中的理论、统计和计算能力;（c）为一篇或多篇综合比较论文以及关于所涉个体人口的论文提供基础。

This award supports a workshop to be co-organized by Dr. Samuel Bowles and Dr. Paul Hooper and to be held at the Santa Fe Institute. The workshop will bring together leading contributors to the theoretical literature on social networks with anthropologists and other field researchers using network techniques to study the social structure of small-scale societies. The objectives are: (a) to enrich network theory by deploying it in a large set of data in an attempt to answer central social science questions of political hierarchy and economic inequality; (b) to enhance the theoretical, statistical and computational capacity of field workers in the quantitative study of networks; and (c) to provide the basis of one or more synthetic comparative papers, as well as papers on the individual populations involved.
