we investigate how the number of communities in a network and connectivity between them affects the perceived opinion …. Moreover, a network fragmented into more, smaller communities seems to provide more "safe spaces" for a minority opinion to …

The paper discusses community enforcement in infinitely repeated, two-action games with local interaction and uncertain monitoring. Each player interacts with and observes only a fixed set of opponents, of whom he is privately informed. The main result shows that when beliefs about the...

We address the problem of a planner looking for the efficient network when agents play a network game with local … complementarities and links are costly. We show that for general network cost functions, efficient networks belong to the class of … Nested-Split Graphs. Next, we refine our results and find that, depending on the specification of the network cost function …

Participants in more complex environments (with more network neighbors …) tend to resort to simpler rules compared to those with only one network neighbor. …

This paper proposes a tractable model that allows us to analyze how agents' perception of relationships with others determines the structures of networks. In our model, agents are endowed with their own multidimensional characteristics and their payoffs depend on the social distance between...

I present a model of observational learning with payoff interdependence. Agents, ordered in a sequence, receive private signals about an uncertain state of the world and sample previous actions. Unlike in standard models of observational learning, an agent's payoff depends both on the state and...
