A Matching Theory of Entrepreneurs' Tie Formation Intentions and Initiation of Economic Exchange
Open accessAbstract
This study advances our understanding of network dynamics by applying matching theory to examine entrepreneurs’ intentions to add new ties to their personal network. I propose that task complementarity and social similarity are important matching criteria that influence entrepreneurs’ interpersonal tie formation intentions, and test whether good matches increase the likelihood of initiation of economic exchange ties. The novel research design using data from business cards of new people met by a panel of Indian entrepreneurs reveals effects of matching and suggests that while entrepreneurs intentionally pursue valuable connections they may be only partially accurate in their assessment of value.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
