This paper shows that the set of probability distributions over networks induced by Nash equilibria of the network … formation game proposed by Myerson (1991) is finite for a generic assignment of payoffs to networks. The same result can be …

Since the seminal contribution of Jackson & Wolinsky 1996 [A Strategic Model of Social and Economic Networks, JET 71 …, 44-74] it has been widely acknowledged that the formation of social networks exhibits a general conflict between … results that relate situations of positive externalities with stable networks that cannot be 'too dense' in a well …
