Laura Prota

Thank you very much Habibullah, your paper is really interesting. I also used SNA to "evaluate" the impact of land reform in Vietnam but I would like to better understand what type of relations we should look at in order to gain a realistic picture of the policy to be evaluated. As you know, network results strongly depend on the type of ties are analyzed.

I agree property rights are an essential relation to look at when assessing the impact of infrastructural projects. Particularly so, given the amount of land that is being grabbed and the level of the corruption involved. I wonder whether it would have been possible to gather information on land contracts (buying and selling) in Chotiari.

I will keep on eye on your future publications on this issue. Thanks

Louise Shaxson

Hi Laura, can I suggest you join the evidence-based policy in development network (https://partnerplatform.org/ebpdn/) and ask them this question -- it's a very lively community of people from across the world, and we've just had a short discussion about the use of SNA. They'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Thank you so much Louise,

I am a network analyst struggling to introduce SNA in economic development and policy evaluation. This, this forum seems really appropriate. The problem is that I cannot login. i cannot see any registration page anywhere. Can you please alternative login way. sorry for this.

Hi Laura, I've checked and apparently you go to the ebpdn website (as above) and click on the 'not a member yet?' box which will help you register. If you still have problems let me know and I'll put you in touch with the adminstrator.

I am looking for data to study political networks in Italy. Is any of you aware of dataset available to trace the relationship between political affiliation and economic agency? Do you know of any study investigating this issue?
