Power-use in cooperative competition: A power-dependence model and an empirical test of network structure and geographic mobility.

Highlights: [•] We propose a power-dependence model of network formation and geographic mobility. [•] We analyze the dynamics of power-use in a community of cooperatively competing amateur sports teams. [•] Poisson regression as well as binary and valued exponential random graph models are used. [•] We find that power-outcomes are governed by status and geographic distance. [•] Results suggest that network formation and geographic mobility are intertwined with power and dependence.
