Abstract
We review the recent approach of correlation based networks of financial equities. We investigate portfolio of stocks at different time horizons, financial indices and volatility time series and we show that meaningful economic information can be extracted from noise dressed correlation matrices. We show that the method can be used to falsify widespread market models by directly comparing the topological properties of networks of real and artificial markets.

NatureCollective dynamics of ‘small-world’ networks
43,160 Citations1998Duncan J. Watts, Steven H. Strogatz
Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.

A model based on these two ingredients reproduces the observed stationary scale-free distributions, which indicates that the development of large networks is governed by robust self-organizing phenomena that go beyond the particulars of the individual systems.

The World-Wide Web becomes a large directed graph whose vertices are documents and whose edges are links that point from one document to another, which determines the web's connectivity and consequently how effectively the authors can locate information on it.

The European Physical Journal BHierarchical structure in financial markets
2,017 Citations1999Rosario N. Mantegna
A hierarchical arrangement of stocks traded in a financial market is found by investigating the daily time series of the logarithm of stock price and the hierarchical tree of the subdominant ultrametric space associated with the graph provides a meaningful economic taxonomy.
Physical Review LettersDynamical and Correlation Properties of the Internet
1,452 Citations2001Romualdo Pastor‐Satorras, Alexei Vázquez +1 more
It is found that the Internet is characterized by non-trivial correlations among nodes and different dynamical regimes, and the importance of node hierarchy and aging in the Internet structure and growth is pointed out.

It is found that in some cases, the models are in remarkable agreement with the data, whereas in others the agreement is poorer, perhaps indicating the presence of additional social structure in the network that is not captured by the random graph.

The time dependence of the recently introduced minimum spanning tree description of correlations between stocks, called the "asset tree", has been studied in order to reflect the financial market taxonomy and the basic structure of the tree topology is very robust with respect to time.

The empirical tree obtained from a large group of stocks traded at the New York Stock Exchange during a 12-year trading period is found to have features of a complex network that cannot be reproduced by a random market model and by the widespread one-factor model.

It is shown how the tree length shrinks during a stock market crisis, Black Monday in this case, and how a strong reconfiguration takes place, resulting in topological shrinking of the tree.

The minimum spanning tree is constructed from the correlation matrix of stock returns and provides a meaningful economic taxonomy of the stock market and it is demonstrated that the assets of the optimal Markowitz portfolio lie practically at all times on the outskirts of the tree.

It is suggested that a planning of few big links, acting as information highways, may noticeably increase the efficiency of the net without affecting its robustness, and an appropriate figure of merit is introduced.

This paper introduces a new methodology for constructing a network of companies called a dynamic asset graph, similar to the dynamic asset tree studied recently, but the new modified methodology does not, in general, lead to a tree but a disconnected graph.
