In this paper, we connect the social network theory on centrality measures to the economic theory of preferences and … different networks. The famous degree measure assigns to every position in a weighted network the sum of the weights of all … links with its neighbours. A crucial property of a preference relation over network positions is neutrality to ordinary risk …

We consider an incomplete information network game in which agents’ information is restricted only to the identity of … walks they have in the network. Our model clearly demonstrates how asymmetric information based on network position and the … identity of agents affect strategic behavior in such network games. We also characterize agent behavior in equilibria under …
