This paper aims to study, by means of a laboratory experiment and a simulation model, some of the mechanisms which … spreads in different networks in which agents interact by word of mouth. We define a regular network, a randomly generated … network and a small world network structured as graphs consisting of agents (vertices) and connections (edges), situated on a …

A network consisting of suppliers, agents, and distributors is considered. The flow of orders and deliveries between … the different elements are determined. A monotonic game for the customers in the network is described. …

The present paper analyzes a network formation problem, mainly based on the framework presented in Bala and Goyal (2000 … the sum of the number of edges it includes. We obtain as a result that the only Nash structure is the circle network … same time it minimizes the costs of network formation. …
