***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.sfu.ca/~insna/ ***** Hi Peter, Check this paper out for a very interesting approach to combining networks and geography. It also has some potentially useful references: Sorenson, O. & Stuart, T. 2001 Syndication Networks and the Spatial Distribution of Venture Capital Investments. American Journal of Sociology, 106(6): 1546-1588.

Many of us routinely assume that geographical distances and social ties are closely linked to one another in the sense that the greater the distance is between two actors the lower the probability will be that they are tied to one another through a friendship or an acquaintance tie. This seems to be a plausible assumption (particularly for young people), but I must admit that I do not know of many reliable empirical studies addressing this question. As I am currently writing about this I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on where to look.
