We prove that for generic network formation games where players incur some strictly positive cost to propose links the …

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 …

We analyze a model of strategic network formation prior to a Manea (2011) bargaining game: ex-ante homogeneous players … form costly undirected links anticipating expected equilibrium payoffs from the subsequent network bargaining. Assuming …

This paper studies an evolutionary model of network formation with endogenous decay, in which agents benefit both from … determines the level of decay of each link. We address the issues of coordination (long-run equilibrium selection) and network …
