Since the seminal contribution of Jackson & Wolinsky 1996 [A Strategic Model of Social and Economic Networks, JET 71 …, 44-74] it has been widely acknowledged that the formation of social networks exhibits a general conflict between … general results that relate situations of positive externalities with stable networks that cannot be “too dense” in a well …

We examine the formation of networks among a set of players whose payoffs depend on the structure of the network. We … links. We characterize the networks that are supported under these variations and show how each of the above aspects is …

We study (anti-) coordination problems in networks in a laboratory experiment. Partici- pants interact with their … neighbours in a fixed network to play a bilateral (anti-) coordination game.
