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 …

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 …
