We introduce a new network centrality measure founded on the Gately value for cooperative games with transferable … utilities. A directed network is interpreted as representing control or authority relations between players-constituting a … hierarchical network. The power distribution embedded within a hierarchical network can be represented through appropriate TU …

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 …

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

This paper considers a population of agents that are engaged in a listening network. The agents wish to match their … neighbors in the network. I derive a closed expression for the (interim) social welfare loss that depends on the initial … information structure and on the possible pieces of information that can be gathered under the network. Then, I explore how …

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

No study so far has attempted to investigate the role of … between his/her profile and the profile of the other player. At this point, a repeated network formation game ensues. We find …
