Abstract

Two-mode networks are used to describe dual patterns of association between distinct social entities through their joint involvement in classes, activities, issues, and events. In empirical organizational research the analysis of two-mode networks is typically accomplished either by (i) decomposition of the dual structure into its two unimodal components defined in terms of indirect relations between entities of the same kind, or (ii) direct statistical analysis of individual two-mode dyads. Neither strategy is satisfactory. In this paper we introduce a newly developed stochastic agent-based model for two-mode networks that redresses the limitations of available analytical strategies. We specify and estimate the model in the context of data we have collected on the dual association between software developers and software problems observed during a complete release cycle of an open source software project. We discuss the general methodological implications of our models for organizational research based on the empirical analysis of two-mode networks.
