This paper provides a framework for identifying preferences in a large network under the assumption of pairwise … stability of network links. Network data present difficulties for identification, especially when links between nodes in a … network can be interdependent: e.g., where indirect connections matter. Given a preference specification, we use the observed …

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 …

We develop a model of social preferences for network games and study its predictions in a local public goods game with … equilibrium set. How easily the requirements for preference compatibility are met crucially depends on a property of the network …
