In this paper we examine possible network formations among immigrants and natives with endogenous investment. We … consider a model of a network formation where the initiator of the link bears its cost while both agents benefit from it. We …

We analyze the intergenerational transmission of the strength of religion focusing on the interplay between family and peer effects. We develop a theoretical model suggesting that both peer quality and parental effort are of importance for the religious behavior of the children. We then bring...

Specifically, actions are either strategic substitutes or strategic … complements, and participants have either complete or incomplete information about the structure of a random network. Since … for reduced exposure to loss, and 2) uncertainty about the network structure makes it considerably more difficult to …
