We study lobbying in a setting in which decision-makers share resources in a network. Two opposing interest groups …-makers' ideologies as well as the network structure. We characterize the lobbying strategies in various network settings and show that a …

So the network dimension of the supply-chain becomes a … value of the firm and it is advantages on the whole coming out by occupying a specific position (role) in the network of …

We define a general class of network formation models, Statistical Exponential Random Graph Models (SERGMs), that nest …' (including ERGMs) parameters estimated from the observation of a single network are consistent (i.e., become accurate as the … exponentially slow mixing times for many specifications, we show that by reformulating network formation as a distribution over the …

Most network games assume that the best response of a player is a linear function of the actions of her neighbors … network models in the existing literature, including those with nonlinear best responses, can be transformed into games with … produce a unified framework that provides conditions for existence and uniqueness of equilibrium for most network games with …

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 …

We show that prominent centrality measures in network analysis are all based on additively separable and linear … treatments of statistics that capture a node's position in the network. This enables us to provide a taxonomy of centrality …

This paper analyses a simultaneous game of network formation and information acquisition where the benefit structure is … such that the benefit that an agent derives from the network she is located in depends on the maximum information that … someone in her neighbourhood, including herself, acquires. It turns out that in equilibrium star network emerges as the unique …

In the benchmark model of Bala and Goyal (2000) on network formation, the equilibrium network is asymmetric and unfair … impacts the network formation process by increasing the asymmetry of networks but does not decrease the level of fairness nor …
