The cost function of an agent … captures the cost that the agent incurs to maintain links in the network. With this utility function, we analyze what network … exists a pairwise stable network, which is also efficient. We show that all pairwise stable networks are efficient, and hence …

We study network formation with n players and link cost α > 0. After the network is built, an adversary randomly …

Theoretical models on network formation focus mostly on the stability and efficiency of equilibria, but they cannot … starting network. To study factors affecting equilibrium selection, we designed a network formation experiment with multiple … stage in which the network is disrupted. This setting allows us to analyze the interplay between the need for farsightedness …

We consider the dynamic network formation problem under the requirement that the whole network be connected and remain …
