Network exchange theory

The field of network exchange has grown over the last 20 years from a few scattered studies to substantial publications in leading journals.

Willer and his contributors present its most advanced theory, Network Exchange Theory, and, by assembling and supplementing formulations now spread across leading journals, provide scholars with a unique collection.
