This paper considers a communication network characterized by an endogenous architecture and an imperfect transmission … of information as in Bala and Goyal (2000). We propose a similar network's model with the difference that it is … dominant. Differently from other models, where the network represents only a channel to obtain information or to play a game …

Imperfect private monitoring in an infinitely repeated discounted Prisoner’s Dilemma played on a communication network …’s history throughout the network. The delay in receiving this information requires the players to be more patient to sustain the … same level of cooperation as in a complete network, although a Folk Theorem obtains when the players are patient enough …

In this paper we study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. More … setting the part of the current network within each connected component of the cover is assumed to be common knowledge to all … players in that component. Based on this two-ingredient model, network and societal cover, we examine the impact of societal …

The Folk Theorem extends to this setup, although for a range of … produces a network result; namely, the level of cooperation in this setup depends on the network’s diameter, and not on its …

This paper considers a simple communication network characterized by an endogenous architecture and an imperfect … transmission of information. We analyze the process of network formation in a dynamic framework where self – interested individuals … network structures the formation process will converge to. …
