We examine the formation of networks among a set of players whose payoffs depend on the structure of the network. We … network or only on the link itself. A final aspect is whether or not players can pay other players to refrain from forming … related either to accounting for a specific type of externality, or to dealing with the combinatorial nature of network …

Coalitional network games are real-valued functions defined on a set of players organized into a network and a … efficient coalitional network structure. We propose two allocation rules that distribute the value of the efficient coalitional … network structure: the atom-based flexible coalitional network allocation rule and the player-based flexible coalitional …

for a fixed network. Unlike previous rules, our characterization does not require component additivity. Next, we extend it … to flexible networks a la Jackson (2005). Finally, we provide a comparison with other fixed (network Myerson and Position … value) and flexible network (player and link based) allocation rules through a number of examples. …
