This discussion paper resulted in a publication in the 'Review of Network Economics' (forthcoming).<P> Agents involved … in the formation of a social or economic network typically face uncertainty about the benefits of creating a link …. However, the interplay of such uncertainty and risk attitudes has been neglected in the network formation literature. We …

This paper studies network formation in settings where players are heterogeneous with respect to benefits as well as … the costs of forming links. Our results demonstrate that centrality, center-sponsorship and short network diameter are … groups as compared to across groups, strategic play by individuals leads to a network architecture in which there is a core …

implications for contagion risk. In particular, we model a network formation process in the banking system. The trade-off between … networks that are resilient to contagion. Thus, in an equilibrium network, the probability of contagion is virtually 0. …
