This paper examines network formation among a connected population with a preference for conformity and leadership …. Agents build stable personal relationships to achieve coordinated actions. The network serves as a repository of collective … reveals how behavioral tendencies impact network formation and identifies locally stable disequilibrium structures …

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 develop a network model of conflict in which players are involved in different battles. A negative shock in one … location of the battle in the network and the strength of each locality involved in each battle. We then empirically test this …

This paper proposes a non-cooperative game of network formation where players' decisions in link formation stem from … benefits from the links he forms to the extent that they connect people across the network. I find that strict Nash …

. Arbitrageurs choose a category of trades to specialize in. This results in an equilibrium network in which the various market … segments are linked by arbitrageurs. Arbitrageurs exert externalities on each other depending on their position in the network …. Due to these externalities, the complete network architecture, in which all links are feasible, is in general suboptimal …

We analyze binary choice models in communication networks, in which both, the formation of links in the network as well … connected communication network. Moreover, we show how the theoretical model can be efficiently estimated using cross sectional … data on agents choices and their network of interactions. …
