Biased visibility B for three groups of institutions (top 10%, middle 50–60%, and bottom 10%) as a function of perceiver institution’s rank r for two models and the empirical Business network. (a) The Faculty production model, (b) Local homophily model, and (c) the empirical Business hiring network where each point is a department and lines indicate the best linear fit to the corresponding data. All models are from skewed initialization. Solid lines in (a), (b) denote the average over 50 networks ensembles, and the shaded region indicates the standard deviation
