Network Effects on the Dynamics of Slovenian Corporate Ownership Network

Corporate ownership networks have a long tradition in developed economies, they are however new to transitional economies like Slovenia, where these networks developed only recently as a result of institutional changes. The resulting network is not natural and is therefore changing rapidly. Techniques like the stochastic actor-oriented models give us an insight into the factors that influence the rate and the direction of the changes in the network. We tested a sequence of eighth corporate ownership networks on the sample of 178 largest financial and non-financial Slovenian companies.
