Previous allocation rules for network games, such as the Myerson Value, implicitly or explicitly take the network … structure as fixed. In many situations, however, the network structure can be altered by players. This means that the value of … alternative network structures (not just sub-networks) can and should influence the allocation of value among players on any given …

networks, such coordination may be very difficult to achieve and may depend on the communication technology and the network … credibility and show, both theoretically and experimentally, an interaction effect of network structure and communication …

We examine the formation of networks among a set of players whose payoffs depend on the structure of the network. We … network or only on the link itself. A final aspect is whether or not players can pay other players to refrain from forming … related either to accounting for a specific type of externality, or to dealing with the combinatorial nature of network …

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 …
