(Anti-) Coordination in Networks
Kovarik, Jaromir; Mengel, Friederike; Romero, José Gabriel - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
We study (anti-) coordination problems in networks in a laboratory experiment. Partici- pants interact with their …

Under-connected and Over-connected Networks
Hellmann, Tim; Buechel, Berno - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
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 …

The Formation of Networks with Transfers among Players
Jackson, Matthew O.; Bloch, Francis - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
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 …

The Cost of Segregation in Social Networks
Allouch, Nizar - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013
This paper investigates the private provision of public goods in segregated societies. While most research agrees that segregation undermines public provision, the findings are mixed for private provision: social interactions, being strong within groups and limited across groups, may either...

Coordination in Networks Formation: Experimental Evidence on Learning and Salience
Galizzi, Matteo; Bernasconi, Michele - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2005
We present experiments on repeated non-cooperative network formation games, based on Bala and Goyal (2000). We treat the one-way and the two-ways flow models, each for high and low link costs. The models show both multiple equilibria and coordination problems. We conduct experiments under...

Divide and Conquer: Noisy Communication in Networks, Power, and Wealth Distribution
Perez, Wilson - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2004
In a society composed of a ruler and its citizens: what are the determinants of the political equilibrium between these two? This paper approaches this problem as a game played between a ruler who has to decide the distribution of the aggregate income and a group of agents/citizens who have the...

Cournot Competition on a Network of Markets and Firms
Ilkiliç, Rahmi - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
Suppose markets and firms are connected in a bi-partite network, where firms can only supply to the markets they are connected to. Firms compete a la Cournot and decide how much to supply to each market they have a link with. We assume that markets have linear demand functions and firms have...

Allocation Rules for Network Games
Jackson, Matthew O. - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003
alternative network structures (not just sub-networks) can and should influence the allocation of value among players on any given …

Network of Commons
Ilkiliç, Rahmi - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2008
A tragedy of the commons appears when the users of a common resource have incentives to exploit it more than the socially efficient level. We analyze the situation when the tragedy of the commons is embedded in a network of users and sources. Users play a game of extractions, where they decide...

Stochastic Stability in the Best Shot Game
Boncinelli, Leonardo; Pin, Paolo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2010
The best shot game applied to networks is a discrete model of many processes of contribution to local public goods. It …
