The classical Shapley value for cooperative games determines a payoff vector considering that the formation of the grand coalition is made by incorporating players one by one. Later, this method was generalized for games with restricted cooperation by several known mathematical structures: partitions, graphs, convex geometries, antimatroids, matroids or simplicial complexes. In this paper we consider games over simplicial complex with an extra information about the relationships of the agents, a filtration of the complex. Filtrations are very known simplicial structures in the social and neuronal networks. We propose a Shapley value for these situations and an axiomatization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies how social structure — the pattern of social links that connect individuals in a community — affects labor markets. Under competing views on the role of networks, social structures that discourage network hiring could improve or hinder labor market performance. We test these competing views using data on marriage networks in 15,000 villages, combined with labor force survey data. Using regressions analyses and an instrumental variable strategy, we find that individuals living in more socially fragmented villages are less likely to work in family firms, more likely to use formal job search strategies, invest more in education and earn higher wages. Social fragmentation thus discourages network hiring and improves labor market performance. These results survive 384 combinations of robustness checks. We further provide direct evidence against reverse causality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite ongoing research in Architectural, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO), little is understood about BIM's interaction with its adoption process. This paper conducts a comprehensive scoping review that utilises secondary data to systematically map the existing literature on the adoption of BIM within AECO organisations. A literature review identified 146 papers on BIM in AECO organisations, categorising them into 46 on pre-adoption, 85 on post-adoption, and 15 on both phases. Findings reveal a tendency towards a 'tunnel vision', isolating a single organisational aspect or adoption phase. However, the study finds that BIM significantly interacts with various organisational elements, such as environment, power dynamics, social structure, and culture, necessitating comprehensive changes and strategies both before and after adoption. Advocating for a holistic approach, the study emphasises integrating change management, continuous learning, and ongoing improvement in BIM implementation. This perspective is a significant contribution to understanding BIM's multifaceted impact in AECO organisations. [Display omitted] • Challenges in fully transitioning to BIM, result in untapped potential. • The organisational environment, power dynamics, social structure, and culture for BIM adoption are currently overlooked. • Reveals the intricate interaction of organisations and BIM throughout the transformative process. • Identifies knowledge gaps, provides a research agenda cube, offers valuable guidance for future studies.
