Network structure has a significant role in determining the outcomes of many socioeconomic relationships, including the … antagonistic ones. In this paper we study a situation in which agents, embedded in a network, simultaneously play interrelated … bilateral contest games with their neighbors. Interrelatedness of contests induces complex local and global network effects. We …

We propose a random network model incorporating heterogeneity of agents and a continuous notion of homophily. Unlike … equality of agents. We show that if links between similar agents are indeed more likely, our homophilous random network model … social network. …

Existence of certain stable network structures is then … empty or complete network are always pairwise stable, stable symmetric networks exist, or stable networks with a connected … pairwise stable network is an NSG if utility is given by Bonacich centrality. …

We develop a model of endogenous network formation as well as strategic interactionsthat take place on the resulting … network, and use it to measure social complementarities in the legislative process. Our model allows for partisan bias and … (1997-2009). We find large network effects in the form of complementarities between the efforts of politicians, both within …
