We provide a model that allows for a transition between the simplest variation of two basic models of strategic network formation: Bala and Goyal's one-way flow model without decay, where links can be unilaterally formed, and a version without decay of Jackson and Wolinsky's connections model...

In this paper we study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. More precisely, an exogenous 'societal cover' consisting of a collection of possibly overlapping subsets that covers the whole set of players and such that no set in this collection is...

We study a connections model where the strength of a link depends on the amount invested in it and is determined by an increasing strictly concave function. The revenue from investments in links is the value (information, contacts, friendship) that the nodes receive through the network. First,...

We consider a natural generalization of Jackson and Wolinsky's (J Econ Theory 71:44- 74, 1996) connections model where the quality or strength of a link depends on the amount invested in it and is determined by a non-decreasing function of that amount. The information that the nodes receive...

In this paper we address several issues related to collective dichotomous decision-making by means of quaternary voting rules, i.e., when voters may choose between four actions: voting yes, voting no, abstaining and not turning up-which are aggregated by a voting rule into a dichotomous...
