Abstract

Self-employment agglomeration is a very typical entrepreneurship in China¡¯s urbanization process, and new comerscan easily obtain resource aids from agglomeration because the communications there are very frequent. Referring tocomplex network theory, we construct an evolving network which can basically reflect the situation of agglomerationevolution in China. Under given preferential attachment rule, we simulate its evolving process and calculate itsstatistic properties. We find that self-employment agglomeration with this evolving rule has comparatively bigaverage degree and power-law degree distribution; it has large clustering coefficient and short average path length.We conclude that self-employment agglomeration has the properties both in scale-free network and in small worldnetwork. The mechanisms of statistic properties on self-employment are also analyzed.
