We study network formation with n players and link cost α > 0. After the network is built, an adversary randomly …

neighbors in the social network. The same activities often exert externalities that cumulate in "stocks" affecting agents … network of social relations, as agents display strategic substitution with distance-two neighbors. We show that behavior is … behavior and key-players tend to move to the periphery of the network, and we discuss the effect of close-knit communities and …

placing its data on others’ storage devices, given the prevailing data loss rate in the network. The cost function of an agent … captures the cost that the agent incurs to maintain links in the network. With this utility function, we analyze what network … exists a pairwise stable network, which is also efficient. We show that all pairwise stable networks are efficient, and hence …

We provide an overview and synthesis of the literatures analyzing games in which players are connected via a network … structure. We discuss, in particular, the impact of the structure of the network on individuals' behaviors. We focus on game …

many well-known results from the contest literature can be obtained by varying the structure of the network. Our framework …

This paper proposes new centrality measures to characterise the 'key class', when agents in a network are sorted into … role-equivalent classes, such that its removal results in an optimal change in the network activity. The notion of role … theoretical applicability. Players in the network engage in a non-cooperative game with local payoff complementarities. We …

I present a behavioural model of network formation with positive network externalities in which individuals have …

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 …

By design, the Bitcoin protocol has a low throughput. The Lightning Network (LN) is a layer-two solution built to …

Network structure has a significant role in determining the outcomes of many socioeconomic relationships, including the … antagonistic ones. In this paper we study a situation in which agents, embedded in a network, simultaneously play interrelated … bilateral contest games with their neighbors. Interrelatedness of contests induces complex local and global network effects. We …
