This paper studies the payoff structure of stable cooperation structures in link formation games. Players choose non …-cooperatively with whom they want to form a link, and the payoffs are given by the Myerson value of the cooperation structure obtained …. We characterize the class of TU-games that ensure the stability of the full cooperation structure, which turns out to be …

alternative network structures (not just sub-networks) can and should influence the allocation of value among players on any given …

The emergence and survival of cooperation is one of the hardest problems still open in science. Several factors such as … to explain the counter-intuitive prevalence of cooperation in natural and social systems. The characteristics of the … interaction networks have been also signaled as an element favoring the persistence of cooperators. Here we consider the invasion …

We study transferable utility games with limited cooperation between the agents. The focus is on communication … structures where the set of agents forms a circle, so that the possibilities of cooperation are represented by the connected sets …
