We investigate correlations between neighbor degrees in the scale-free network. According to the empirical studies, it is known that the degree correlations exhibit nontrivial statistical behaviors. With using an analytical approach, we show that the scale-freeness and one of statistical laws for degree correlations can be reproduced consistently in a unified framework. Our result would have its importance in understanding the mechanisms which generate the complex network.
