This paper analyses a simultaneous game of network formation and information acquisition where the benefit structure is … such that the benefit that an agent derives from the network she is located in depends on the maximum information that … someone in her neighbourhood, including herself, acquires. It turns out that in equilibrium star network emerges as the unique …

dimensions of our identity (“homophily”). Lab studies of network formation games have found that adherence to social norms of … reciprocity and inequity aversion are also drivers of network choices. No study so far has attempted to investigate the role of … between his/her profile and the profile of the other player. At this point, a repeated network formation game ensues. We find …

Specifically, actions are either strategic substitutes or strategic … complements, and participants have either complete or incomplete information about the structure of a random network.

We develop a model of social preferences for network games and study its predictions in a local public goods game with … a property of the network structure: neighborhood nestedness. This means that equilibrium selection succeeds in small …
