Network position determines productivity through strategic complementarities. Central nodes access diverse knowledge/connections. Preferential attachment reinforces centrality advantage. Isomorphism: innovation networks (Sweden) vs science/tech networks.
Firms collaborate forming innovation network. Central firms access diverse knowledge from multiple partners enhancing innovation output. Peripheral firms limited by fewer connections. Network structure (centrality) determines innovation capacity. Successful innovators attract more partners (preferential attachment) reinforcing centrality advantage.
view paper→An agent's position in a collaboration network determines their productivity. Higher network centrality increases output through strategic complementarities with connected agents. Activity in one domain (scientific) enhances productivity in another domain (technological), but this effect is asymmetric - the reverse direction shows no detectable influence.
