Anyone know why barabasi.game() creates networks with zero transitivity?

In general it does not, unless you set m=1, which means that a tree is
generated:

bg <- simplify(barabasi.game(1000, m=5))
transitivity(bg)
[1] 0.01707914

I
thought their approach (from Barabasi, A.-L. and Albert R. 1999. Emergence of scaling in random networks Science, 286 509–512) was intended to capture
the characteristics of a social network?

I don't think they intended to capture transitivity, though.

They discuss an actor collaboration
network for instance.

I'm running igraph on R.

Thank you,
