In this context, the network organization is given. The general purpose of this approach is to derive the collective consequences which cannot be extrapolated from any kind of representative individual behavior. See for instance [12, David, Foray & Dalle] and its bibliography. In this paper, we follow the opposite track: instead of deriving some indeterminism from deterministic systems, we rather detect some regularities from indeterministic micro-mechanisms. date: 1998 date_type: published publisher: Springer Berlin Heidelberg id_number: 10.1007/978-3-642-72260-8_13 creators_browse_id: 1134 creators_browse_id: 1258 full_text_status: none place_of_pub: Germany pagerange: 283-290 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-642-72260-8 book_title: The Economics of Networks coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart citation: Aubin, J.-P. & Foray, D.
