1 Social Times of Network Spaces David Stark and Balazs Vedres

2 to model, from its inception, network formation across an entire epoch of economic transformation Processes of network evolution

3 Embeddedness of foreign capital? analytic move from how a national economy is integrated into the world economy to whether and how FDI is integrated into local networks

4 Methodological innovation We modify analytic tools from DNA sequencing to reconcile the structural focus of social network analysis with the temporal orientation of historical sociology Structure as topology and temporality

5 Emergence of domestic networks Massive decline of state ownership Extraordinary institutional uncertainty Ambiguity about the rules of the game

6 Foreign investment Did massive FDI eradicate networks? Which forms were open or closed to FDI? Do foreigners build domestic networks?

7 Our question Can networks of global reach coexist and entwine with those of local embeddedness? Restated, can FDI be integrated into national networks? And, if so, how?

8 Data Largest 1,800 firms of the period by revenue between 1987-2001 Ownership data from registry courts names of top 25 owners and their shares all changes recorded for the whole life of the firm A tie is a direct ownership stake by one of our 1,800 firms in one of the other firms in that same population (i.e., not an affiliation network)

37 For historical network analysis from a kind of aerial sociology to the network histories of 1,800 firms.

38 To move from system-level properties to historical processes at the level of firms...

39 For historical network analysis Network analysis: topology Historical analysis: temporality Synthesis: find structures in social space and social times Methodological innovation: Sequence analysis of network positions to identify pathways through local network topologies From time as a variable to time as variable

40 Probe for differences in types of embeddedness Different local network topographic properties reflect different organizing practices Firms can use network properties, for example, to hide assets, to restructure assets, to gain access to knowledge, to increase legitimation, to secure access to supplies and markets, and so on

41 Structure as topology and temporality Studying variation in the sequences of local structures is a way to identify distinctive pathways of network evolution

48 From 1,696 firm histories we need to find similar sequences. We use optimal matching analysis to find the distance of each sequence from all others. Finding sequential equivalence

49 To the resulting matrix we then apply hierarchical clustering that groups sequences so that within-cluster distances are as low as possible and between-cluster distances are high.

50 The combination of these two algorithms, yields – not unlike the concept of structural equivalence in network analysis – sequential equivalence.

57 Hungary is not a segregated dual economy Globalization is compatible with local embeddings Forms of recombinant property are robust Cohesive forms are adaptive

58 An internationalized market economy emerged in Hungary not despite but, instead, because of inter- organizational ownership networks.

59 Developing economies do not necessarily face a forced choice between networks of global reach and those of local embeddedness. High levels of foreign investment can be integrated into processes of inter- organizational ownership network formation in a developing economy.
