(3) Initial inclinations determine the critical mass of … network and other parameters. Given the complexity of the system we use a standard technique for estimating the solution …

This paper develops a simple model in which a social hierarchy emerges endogenously when agents form a network for …, as well as their value function, increases (strictly) concavely in the total activity of their neighbours in the network … endogenise network formation, equilibria become strongly structured: more active players have more neighbours, i.e. a higher …

No study so far has attempted to investigate the role of … between his/her profile and the profile of the other player. At this point, a repeated network formation game ensues. We find …

In the benchmark model of Bala and Goyal (2000) on network formation, the equilibrium network is asymmetric and unfair … impacts the network formation process by increasing the asymmetry of networks but does not decrease the level of fairness nor …

I propose a simple theory of strategic network formation that accounts for many empirical patterns. Three elements … domains. The former in particular compel a manner of behavior in certain network games, highlighting a mechanism through which … in the matching literature …

This study investigates how people provide public goods in a network formation game. In this game, players first form a … network through bilateral linking, with or without a link cost, and then contribute to a public good, which can benefit both …

We combine network formation and information transmission in a simple model and predict that people reveal less …

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 …
