DESCRIPTION:Markets\, including trade networks of plant nurseries\, foster
  exchanges among economic agents such as businesses and consumers\; at the
  same time\, many markets have been shown to host and propagate infectious
  units such as pathogens\, computer viruses or toxic obligations. As marke
 ts are highly heterogeneous networks\, the best strategy to mitigate disea
 se spread consists in targeting the large companies as a matter of priorit
 y. However\, as targeting large businesses is likely to yield major market
  imbalances by shortening the supply and increasing drastically the prices
 \, we argue that optimal control policies should instead be determined by 
 studying the trade-off between control efficiency and market stability.
