Network effects in friend-to-friend resource sharing network

What the paper says
The purpose of this research is to inquire into the resource availability of peers in a friend-to-friend (F2F) resource-sharing network. In this study, we focus on how peers' decisions to create new links affect the resource availability of others in the network. We examine the impact of new links on resource availability through the lens of network effects, also known as network externalities. We examine the relationship between network density and network effects. We demonstrate that a peer's local and global resource availability is inversely proportional to the distance between any two peers that form a link. Furthermore, we show that the total number of peers in the network does not influence the inversely proportional relationship between network density and positive network effects.
