Motif formation in the Japanese Business Firm Network — •Julian Maluck1,2, Reik V. Donner1, Hideki Takayasu2, and Misako Takayasu2 — 1Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany — 2Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan
We investigate how characteristic patterns in the establishment of business relationships and merging agreements between firms explain the functional roles and organization of 3-party interactions in the Japanese Business Firm Network. By considering industry dependent linking patterns of newly established firms in an evolving network model, the conceptual understanding of the emergence of motifs at the meso-scale of the network can be improved. At the global scale, however, an observed overshoot of appearances of densely connected motifs in the model requires additional explanation in terms of merging preferences between firms. We provide evidence towards the tendency of Japanese business firms to merge with other firms that show similar patterns in their input/output allocations.
