Abstract

Monotonicity is an appealing principle of relational power measures in social networks. It states that as the influence of an individual changes, the relational power measure should change in the same direction. We axiomatically characterize the $$\beta $$ - and score-measures on directed networks using three axioms: two different monotonicity axioms, the same symmetry axiom and two different efficiency axioms, respectively. For every individual, the $$\beta $$ -measure refers to a weighted sum over all dominated individuals by itself, in which for each dominated individual the weight is given by the reciprocal of the number of its dominators, while the score-measure refers simply to the number of dominated individuals by itself. We also extend the result for the score-measure to undirected networks.
