This paper reports the results of a laboratory experiment on network formation among heterogeneous agents. The … experimental design extends the basic Bala-Goyal (2000) model of network formation with decay and two-way flow of benefits by … network has a star structure. We find that with homogeneous agents, equilibrium predictions fail completely. In contrast, with …

Workers are embedded within a network of social relationships and can communicate through word-of-mouth. They can find …. We show that, when the network size increases, on average, the unemployed workers hear about more vacancies through their … social network but, at the same time, it is more likely that multiple vacancies reach the same unemployed worker. Above a …
