This paper applies for the first time power index analysis to the famous Krackhardt’s kite social network by imposing a … weighted voting game on the given network structure. It compares the results of this analysis, derived by applying the Public … traditional centrality measures are rather a first approximation for evaluating the power in a network as they considerably …

This chapter surveys recent models of coalition and network formation in a unified framework. Comparisons are drawn … among various procedures of network and coalition formation, involving simultaneous and sequential moves. The survey also … covers models of group and network formation by farsighted players and in dynamic contexts. The chapter concludes with a …

We study a model in which heterogeneous agents first form a trading network where link formation is costless. Then, a … a trading network is pairwise stable if and only if it is a core periphery network where the core consists of all weak …

We present a model of directed communication network with endogenous link strength. Agents are endowed with a fixed …

The paper examines the formation of free trade agreements as a network formation game. We consider a three … either unionized or non-unionized), the global free trade network is both the unique pairwise stable network and the uniquee … efficient network. If some countries are unionized while others are non-unionized, other networks apart from the global free …

We develop a model of social preferences for network games and study its predictions in a local public goods game with … equilibrium set. How easily the requirements for preference compatibility are met crucially depends on a property of the network …
