(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 …

We examine how trade sanctions can be imposed effectively in a trading network. We focus on three factors that affect … trade sanctions: a country’s endowment, distance between trading countries, and connectivity in the network. Our models …) incorporating the consequences of different centralities of sender and target in the trade network …

We consider an incomplete information network game in which agents’ information is restricted only to the identity of … walks they have in the network. Our model clearly demonstrates how asymmetric information based on network position and the … identity of agents affect strategic behavior in such network games. We also characterize agent behavior in equilibria under …

We study properties of collective action problems bounded by minimal contributions as well as endowment and variable contributions are neighbourhood dependent. We relate nearness to non-interior agents and its implication for interior contribution. Here, we see the aspects of node distance to...

A local public-good game played on directed networks is analyzed. The model is motivated by one-way flows of hydrological influence between cities of a river basin that may shape the level of their contribution to the conservation of wetlands. It is shown that in many (but not all) directed...

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 …
