Field studies of networks have uncovered a preference to befriend people we perceive as similar according to some … dimensions of our identity (“homophily”). Lab studies of network formation games have found that adherence to social norms of … reciprocity and inequity aversion are also drivers of network choices. No study so far has attempted to investigate the role of …

This chapter surveys recent models of coalition and network formation in a unified framework. Comparisons are drawn … among various procedures of network and coalition formation, involving simultaneous and sequential moves. The survey also … covers models of group and network formation by farsighted players and in dynamic contexts. The chapter concludes with a …

network that connects them. We find that information supports cooperation by increasing trust between players, and obtain the … 'radius of trust': an endogenous network listing the potentially cooperative relationships between pairs of players in a … community. We identify two aspects of trust, which relate to the network structure in different ways. Where trust depends on the …

The paper analyzes a dynamic model of rational strategic learning in a network. It complements existing literature by … network. We show that the delay in information transmission caused by incomplete network structures may induce players to … increase own experimentation efforts. As a consequence a complete network can fail to be optimal even if there are no costs for …
