This paper brings together analyses of two-way flow Strict Nash networks under exclusive player heterogeneity … two assumptions influence important properties of Strict Nash networks. Built upon the findings of Billand et al (2011 …, I provide a proposition that generalizes the results of these two models by stating that: (i) Strict Nash network …

Network structure has a significant role in determining the outcomes of many socioeconomic relationships, including the … antagonistic ones. In this paper we study a situation in which agents, embedded in a network, simultaneously play interrelated … bilateral contest games with their neighbors. Interrelatedness of contests induces complex local and global network effects. We …

I do so by extending the two-way flow network with small decay of De Jaegher and Kamphorst (J ECON BEHAV ORGAN, 2015 …). Results of this extension shows that the effects of value heterogeneity on Strict Nash networks, when small decay is present …

We study the formation of networks in environments where agents derive benefits from other agents directly linked to … networks with undirected links (e.g. epidemics, underground resistance organizations, trade networks) where we find that stable … networks are comprised of completely connected disjoint subnetworks. Then, we consider networks with directed links and we find …

Core periphery networks are defined as networks in which the agents' set can be … over the other, controlling for path length. An exhaustive analysis shows that core periphery networks, in which the …

We experimentally study the emergence of networks under a known external threat. To be more specific, we deal with the … question if subjects in the role of a strategic Designer are able to form safe and efficient networks while facing a strategic … Adversary who is going to attack their networks.

This paper studies a noncooperative model of network formation. Built upon the two-way flow model of Bala and Goyal … number of his links. This assumption results in the fact that a large set of Nash networks are disconnected and consist of … components of different sizes, a feature that resembles that of real-world networks. Discussions on this insight are provided. …

Most literature in strategic network formation shows that there is a substantial tension between stability and … (2000a) and De Jaegher and Kamphorst (2015). Specifically, I show that every link receiver in a Nash network serves as an … fine-detail characterization of effiicient networks. …
