We present a new approach to the study of networks where the formation of links is driven by unilateral initiative of … generalization of the model in which intermittent states can make the evolution of connectivity slower. In this class of networks … to a class of networks not based on the rationale of linking probability between pair of nodes, but it is based on the …

We study the endogenous network formation of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements by means of hypergraphs and introduce the equilibrium concept of multilateral stability. We consider multi-country settings with a firm in each country that produces a homogeneous good and competes as a...

Rather than assuming a particular … empty or complete network are always pairwise stable, stable symmetric networks exist, or stable networks with a connected … networks: they are nested split graphs (NSG). We illustrate these results with many examples from the literature, including …

We consider a co-evolutionary model of social coordination and network formation where agents may decide on an action in a 2x2 - coordination game and on whom to establish costly links to. We find that a payoff dominant convention is selected for a wider parameter range when agents may only...
