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

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 …

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 …

Theoretical models on network formation focus mostly on the stability and efficiency of equilibria, but they cannot … starting network. To study factors affecting equilibrium selection, we designed a network formation experiment with multiple … stage in which the network is disrupted. This setting allows us to analyze the interplay between the need for farsightedness …
