Network Fairness Ambivalence: When Does Social Network Capital Mitigate or Amplify Unfairness?
Pages 81 - 82
Abstract
What are the necessary and sufficient conditions under which multi-hop dissemination strategies decrease rather than increase inequity within social networks? Our analysis of various strategies suggests that this largely depends on a limit related to the degree of homophily in the network.
