We examine the formation of networks among a set of players whose payoffs depend on the structure of the network. We … variations of the transfer/bargaining aspect of link formation. One aspect is whether players can only make and receive transfers … links. We characterize the networks that are supported under these variations and show how each of the above aspects is …
