Existence of certain stable network structures is then … empty or complete network are always pairwise stable, stable symmetric networks exist, or stable networks with a connected … pairwise stable network is an NSG if utility is given by Bonacich centrality. …

High levels of clustering—the tendency for two nodes in a network to share a neighbor—are ubiquitous in economic and … otherwise separate network regions, representing rewards for filling “structural holes” in the sense of Burt (1992) and keeping … distances in networks short. This paper proposes a parsimonious model of network formation with introductions and intermediation …

We introduce a new network centrality measure founded on the Gately value for cooperative games with transferable … utilities. A directed network is interpreted as representing control or authority relations between players-constituting a … hierarchical network. The power distribution embedded within a hierarchical network can be represented through appropriate TU …

Specifically, actions are either strategic substitutes or strategic … complements, and participants have either complete or incomplete information about the structure of a random network. Since … for reduced exposure to loss, and 2) uncertainty about the network structure makes it considerably more difficult to …

We analyze a model of strategic network formation prior to a Manea (2011) bargaining game: ex-ante homogeneous players … form an undirected network with explicit linking costs anticipating expected equilibrium payoffs from the subsequent … sequential network bargaining. Assuming patient players, we provide a complete characterization of networks being pairwise (Nash …
