DESCRIPTION:<span>Co-authors: Nial Friel (University College Dublin)\,  Ri
 ccardo Rastelli (University College Dublin)\, Jason Wyse (Trinity  College
  Dublin) <br></span> <span><br>We analyze the temporal bipartite network o
 f the leading Irish com- panies  and their directors from 2003 to 2013\, e
 ncompassing the end of the Celtic Tiger  boom and the ensuing nancial cris
 is in 2008. We focus on the evolution of  company interlocks\, whereby a c
 ompany director simultaneously sits on two or  more boards. We develop a n
 ovel statistical model for this dataset by embedding  the positions of com
 panies and directors in a latent space. A useful aspect of  our modelling 
 approach is that it accommodates the development of metrics which  can be 
 used to assess the extent of interlocking over time.</span>
