Structural patterns of hiring model networks for three mechanisms of Faculty production, Rank-weighted production, Rank-weighted homophily and the empirical Business hiring network as a function of prestige. (a), (b), (c) Out-degree \(k_{i}\), (d), (e), (f) eigenvector centrality, (g), (h), (i) harmonic centrality, and (j), (k), (l) mean geodesic distance normalized by network diameter. Panels on the left (a), (d), (g), (j) show results for the Faculty production model, and panels on the middle (b), (e), (h), (k) show results for the Rank-weighted production model. Panels on the right (c), (f), (i), (l) show results for the Rank-weighted homophily model. All models simulated with egalitarian initialization. Solid lines indicate the mean over 50 simulations, and shaded region around the mean indicates the 25% to 75% quantile range. Orange points indicate the observed values for the Business hiring network. Large rank denotes higher prestige
