We present experiments on repeated non-cooperative network formation games, based on Bala and Goyal (2000). We treat … coordination problems. We conduct experiments under various conditions which control for salient labeling and learning dynamics …. Contrary to previous experiments, we find that coordination on non-empty Strict Nash equilibria is not an easy task for …

according to a better reply dynamics. In the long run the system settles in a state that consists of starred-wheel networks …. This is reminiscent of some real world features. Collections of smaller disjoint networks connecting few agents are more … common than global networks connecting all agents of the community. Di.erences within a connected component such as core and …

Many social and economic networks emerge among actors that only partially observe the network when forming network ties … inefficient networks but instead might actually inhibit inefficient positional jockeying among actors. …

This paper studies an evolutionary model of network formation with endogenous decay, in which agents benefit both from direct and indirect connections. In addition to forming (costly) links, agents choose actions for a coordination game that determines the level of decay of each link. We address...

We study a model of local evolution. Players are located on a network and play games agains their neighbors. Players are characterized by three properties: (1) The stage game strategies they use agains their neighbors. (2) The repeated game strategy that determines the former. (3) A learning...
