This paper studies the properties of convexity (concavity) and strategic complements (substitutes) in network formation … shown that there always exists a pairwise stable network as long as the utility function of each player satisfies convexity … in own links and strategic complements. For network societies with a profile of utility functions satisfying concavity in …

tie failures. Using cooperative game theory, we assign weights to every tie of the network where the cooperative game … accounts for the cohesion of the network. These weights are combined with the weights of the original network where emphasis …

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 …

ect of pollution there are local pollution e ffects represented by a network structure. We show that stable IEAs exist if … the network structure is balanced. Too large asymmetries in the degree of local spillovers may however lead to non …

We consider a co-evolutionary model of social coordination and network formation where agents may decide on an action …

The rate of deployment and adoption issues of new network technologies, IPv6 in particular, have recently been hotly … tools - that under the proposed economic model, the all IPv6 AS topology is a Nash equilibrium on any network topology …

The paper discusses the dimensioning strategies of two network providers (operators) that supply channels to the same … capacities and by the users' blocking-avoidance strategy; and b) a network dimensioning game between operators in which the …
