In a general model of trading networks with bilateral contracts, we propose a suitably adapted chain stability concept … that plays the same role as pairwise stability in two-sided settings. We show that chain stability is equivalent to … stability if all agents' preferences are jointly fully substitutable and satisfy the Laws of Aggregate Supply and Demand. In the …

-players involved, there is the question of stability. We introduce and characterize a notion of marginal equilibrium, where all nodes … about node-players' information and is necessary for Nash equilibrium and for pairwise stability. Second, efficient networks … in absolute terms are characterized. Efficiency and stability are shown to be incompatible, but partial subsidizing is …

We develop a dynamic framework of strategic information transmission through cheap talk in a social network. Privately informed agents have different preferences about the action to be implemented by each agent and repeatedly communicate with their neighbors in the network. We first characterize...

We develop a model of information exchange through communication and investigate its implications for information aggregation in large societies. An \textit{underlying state} determines payoffs from different actions. Agents decide which others to form a costly \textit{communication link} with,...

We analyze the formation of partnerships in social networks. Players need favors at random times and ask their neighbors in the network to form exclusive long-term partnerships that guarantee reciprocal favor exchange. Refusing to provide a favor results in the automatic removal of the...

We investigate how information goods are priced and diffused over links in a network. A new equivalence relation between nodes captures the effects of network architecture and locations of sellers on the division of profits, and characterizes the topology of competing (and potentially...
