We present a model of network formation where entering nodes find other nodes to link to both completely at random and … randomness in the formation process affects average utility in the network. …

We propose a simple non-cooperative mechanism of network formation in cost spanning tree problems. The only subgame …

This paper presents a model of local network effects in which agents connected in a social network each value adoption … equilibrium networks of adopters when the social network is an instance of a generalized random graph. …

I survey the recent literature on the formation of networks. I provide definitions of network games, a number of …

A new model of strategic network formation is developed and analyzed, where an agent's investment in links is … applications from social interaction to industrial organization. Models of strategic network formation typically assume that each … level or intensity of networking. In the simplest case, the agent faces a binary choice: to network or not to network. If an …
