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 …

Most literature in strategic network formation shows that there is a substantial tension between stability and … (2000a) and De Jaegher and Kamphorst (2015). Specifically, I show that every link receiver in a Nash network serves as an …

The paper proposes a game of weighted network formation in which each agent has a limited resource to form links of …, uniquely predicts the equilibrium values of each agent's network investment and utility level, as well as the ratio of any two …

We select the minimal case of a bipartite network where we have two groups of nodes … extreme Thouless effect in this model, i.e. a mixed-phase transition at which the order parameter, here given by the network …

Linking decisions are based on network-dependent marginal payoff and a … network independent noise capturing exogenous idiosyncratic effects. Moreover, agents have a limited observation radius when …

We develop a network model whose links are governed by banks' optmizing decisions and by an endogenous tâtonnement … evolution of the network configuration under various prudential policy regimes, to measure banks' contribution to systemic risk …

Theoretical models on network formation focus mostly on the stability and efficiency of equilibria, but they cannot … starting network. To study factors affecting equilibrium selection, we designed a network formation experiment with multiple … stage in which the network is disrupted. This setting allows us to analyze the interplay between the need for farsightedness …

The cost function of an agent … captures the cost that the agent incurs to maintain links in the network. With this utility function, we analyze what network … exists a pairwise stable network, which is also efficient. We show that all pairwise stable networks are efficient, and hence …
