We introduce a noncooperative multilateral bargaining model for a network-restricted environment, in which players can … their communication links with upfront transfers. The main theorem characterizes a condition on network structures for … efficient equilibria and shows the prevalence of strategic delays. If the underlying network is either complete or circular …

The same activities often exert externalities that cumulate in "stocks" affecting agents … network of social relations, as agents display strategic substitution with distance-two neighbors. We show that behavior is … behavior and key-players tend to move to the periphery of the network, and we discuss the effect of close-knit communities and …

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 …

The method is also useful to represent the network community structure, especially … the network hierarchical structure. The application of the methodologies is based on the Italian interlocking directorship …
