Modeling Overlapped Mutual Funds’ Portfolios: A Bipartite Network Approach

Table 3

Robustness Models. This table summarizes the results of the following model: = α + β+ γ + + . The dependent variable is and represent the variation in the topological variables of the bipartite networks. corresponds to the independent variables. corresponds to the control variables. are monthly fixed effects to control for seasonality. All models are estimated with robust standard errors.
