The question of how to optimally design an infrastructure network that may be subject to intelligent threats is of … highest interest. We address this problem by considering a Designer-Adversary game of optimal network design for the case of … imperfect node defense. In this two-stage game, first the Designer defends network connectivity by forming costly links and …

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 …

We report the findings of experiments designed to study how people learn in network games. Network games offer new … opportunities to identify learning rules, since on networks (compared to, e.g., random matching) more rules differ in terms of their … find that learning depends on network position. Participants in more complex environments (with more network neighbors …
