explanation for many core-periphery structures observed in real life social networks. -- Network Formation ; Heterogeneity … solely on the types of the two end agents. Core periphery networks are defined as networks in which the agents' set can be … over the other, controlling for path length. An exhaustive analysis shows that core periphery networks, in which the …

' actions in terms of network paths and use this formula to characterize the set of networks where naive agents eventually learn …We study a sequential-learning model featuring a network of naive agents with Gaussian information structures. Agents … correctly. This characterization implies that, on all networks where later agents observe more than one neighbor, there exist …

Individuals have a strong tendency to coordinate with all their neighbors on social and economics networks … multiplex network who deal with coordination issues using social learning and payoff-driven dynamics. Agents form their …

We experimentally study the emergence of networks under a known external threat. To be more specific, we deal with the … question if subjects in the role of a strategic Designer are able to form safe and efficient networks while facing a strategic … Adversary who is going to attack their networks. This investigation relates theoretical predictions by Dziubinski and Goyal …

endogenous structure of collaboration is represented by a weighted network. The agents are forward-looking and capable of … solution. I find stable networks in which agents collaborate only within exclusive groups. Both an absence of intergroup …

I propose a simple model of signed network formation, where agents make friends to extract payoffs from weaker enemies … equilibria cannot be Pareto ranked. This paper offers a game-theoretic foundation for a large body of work on signed networks …

We study the formation of networks in environments where agents derive benefits from other agents directly linked to … networks with undirected links (e.g. epidemics, underground resistance organizations, trade networks) where we find that stable … networks are comprised of completely connected disjoint subnetworks. Then, we consider networks with directed links and we find …

This paper studies a non-cooperative model of network formation. Built upon the two-way flow model of Bala and Goyal … number of his links. This assumption results in the fact that a large set of Nash networks are disconnected and consist of … components of different sizes, a feature that resembles that of real-world networks. Discussions on this insight are provided …

. In public goods games played on networks, such an agent will attempt to manipulate as many of his neighbors as possible …. We show the existence and payoff-uniqueness of optimal farsighted strategies in every network structure. In the long run … for every network if the starting state is unfavorable, and reaches it for every starting state if the farsighted player …

We consider network games in which players simultaneously form partnerships and choose actions. Players are …. We find that, despite the symmetry and simplicity of the setting, quite irregular network structures can arise in … in endogenously formed networks. …
