Abstract

We characterized the networks of greenfield investment intentions before and after the 2008 global financial crises in two key sectors, construction and extractive and mining, using network indicators (cohesion and centre periphery) and blockmodels. The main results are i) the number of lines informs extract and mining network is substantially thinner than construction, ii) the 2008 crises impact on networks was substantially higher in extractive and mining than in construction, which suggests that construction web of believes was more resilient to exogenous shock, iii) network graphs show us deep change in web configuration after crises. We didn't find any study using that methodology to analyze greenfield investment intentions, particularly in those sectors.
