“…The focus of the present study Windzio and Bicer (2013) suggest from a rational choice perspective that ethnic segregation might be more pronounced in closer and more intimate relations than in friendship nominations. In contrast to friendship nominations in classrooms, they argue, spending spare time together or visiting friends at home require more time and effort and are therefore more costly.…”

“…Therefore, I expected that interethnic friendship nominations would be less frequently characterized by mutuality, trust, helpfulness, and jointly spent spare time than intra-ethnic ones. Moreover, based on an argument of Windzio and Bicer (2013) I examined whether closer relations are more likely to be segregated along ethnic lines than friendship networks.…”

“…Based on the frequently observed homophily principle (Kandel, 1978;McPherson et al, 2001) and previous findings (Aboud et al, 2003;Kao and Joyner, 2004;Windzio and Bicer, 2013), I expect that even if students nominate friends from other ethnic groups, intimate friendships will be formed more often with same-ethnic peers. Interethnic friendship nominations will be thus less frequently characterized by mutuality, trust, helpfulness, and jointly spent spare time than intra-ethnic ones.…”

“…Friendship nominations were not included in the analysis if the ethnicity of the sender or the receiver was unknown. Windzio and Bicer (2013) suggested that ethnic segregation is more pronounced in closer relations than in friendship nominations because closer ties are more costly than friendship nominations. They also hypothesized that the densities of these costly networks are lower than those of friendship networks.…”

In this paper I compare the quality of inter-and intra-ethnic friendships. Previous studies suggest that interethnic friendships are less likely to be characterized by closeness and intimacy than friendships between same-ethnic peers. I analyze data from a Hungarian panel study conducted among Roma and non-Roma Hungarian secondary school students. The analysis of 13 classes shows that interethnic friendship nominations are indeed less often characterized by co-occurring trust, perceptions of helpfulness, or jointly spent spare time than intra-ethnic ones. This association holds true for self-declared ethnicity as well as peer perceptions of ethnicity. Focusing on the self-declared ethnicity of students, interethnic friendship nominations are also found to be less frequently reciprocated than intra-ethnic ones. Concentrating on ethnic peer perceptions, however, the outgoing nominations of non-Roma students are found to be more frequently reciprocated by classmates they perceive as Roma than by classmates they perceive as non-Roma.

“…Thus, the immigrant must invest a higher effort to acquire the local language and to form a link with the natives. Windzio and Bicer (2013) [23] indicated that ethnic segregation affects the cost of networks via parameters such as leisure time spent together, visits to one another's homes, and contact between children's parents.…”

Abstract:In this paper, we present a formal framework of possible network formations among immigrants. After arriving in the new country, one of the new immigrant's important decisions is with whom to maintain a link in the foreign country. We find that the behavior of the first two immigrants affects all those who come after them. We also find that in the long run, under specific conditions, the first immigrant will become the leader of the immigrant society. Over time, as the stock of immigrants in the host country increases, the investment in the link with the leader will increase as well.

This study explores how the virtual environment of metaverse generates benefits to drive firms' rational choice in mutual trust building, and further ensures the green knowledge sharing intention maintaining for continuous enhancing supply chain resilience and realizing green performance, further promoting environmentally sustainable development. A conceptual framework is formulated by incorporating the natural resource‐based view, knowledge‐based view, and rational choice theory. This framework is supported and validated using PLS‐SEM. The findings of the analysis reveal that the virtual environment of the metaverse can create a sense of physical proximity, effectively managing communication distance and influencing firms' emotional attitude during interactions. Furthermore, the metaverse facilitates sensory feedback, thereby strengthening emotional expression. Based on these observations, supply chain firms are likely to adopt rational thinking and demonstrate rational behavior, making choices that foster mutual trust. As trust is established, it promotes the sharing of green knowledge, strengthens supply chain resilience, facilitates the achievement of environmentally friendly performance in the green supply chain, and contributes to the sustainable development of the environment. This study makes valuable contributions to the existing literature concerning the integration of green supply chain and the metaverse.
