New #article from Hjalmar Carlsen et al: Demand Networks and Informal Volunteering TL;DR: results clearly indicate the importance of the demand side to adequately explain informal volunteering. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Social network theory 101: networks supply resources, ergo, more connections = more (social) capital. However, supply and demand are two sides of the same coin but the demand side has largely been neglected. In this piece with @hjalmarcarlsen.bsky.social, we theorize this as demand networks. 🧵👇
