We find general … results that relate situations of positive externalities with stable networks that cannot be 'too dense' in a well …-defined sense, while situations with negative externalities, tend to induce 'too dense' networks. …

. We approach this omission by analyzing the role of positive and negative externalities of link formation. This yields … general results that relate situations of positive externalities with stable networks that cannot be too dense in a well …-defined sense, while situations with negative externalities tend to induce too dense networks. …

and a rich set of externalities that are responsible for possible wedges between the equilibrium and the efficient … acquisition of information. First, we relate the (in)efficiency in the acquisition of information to the (in)efficiency in the use … of information and explain why efficiency in the use does not guarantee efficiency in the acquisition. Next, we show how …
