VCG MECHANISM AND CENTRALITY MEASURES IN NETWORK ANALYSIS
04 Pubblicazione in atti di convegno
In this work we show that some centrality measures in network analysis are exactly an application of the principles underlying the well-known Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism. We then present an example relying on a transport framework which highlights how these centrality measures à la VCG can indeed provide valuable information to fairly assess the importance of the analyzed network elements.
