Social networks research with digital traces data

The emergence of the internet and its various modes of online interaction have created unprecedented opportunities for social scientists to study classic social questions in new ways, but also to ask new questions. This holds in particular for themes like social networks, social order, and cooperation. In this talk I will present various examples of my work over the past years on these themes, drawing on a variety of different “digital traces” data sources, including social media and online markets.
