The Lightning Network is a decentralized payment network built on top of a block-chain, in which intermediary nodes … provide a trust-less routing service for end users. We provide an overview of the current state of the network and show that … strategically on the network. Those strategic interactions between nodes can be described by a Bertrand competition model with …

We study a coordination game among agents on a network, who choose whether or not to take an action in an uncertain … coordination set if and only if the network is balanced, i.e., the average degree of each subnetwork is no larger than the average … degree of the network. Comparative statics exercises as well as welfare properties are investigated. In particular, we show …

I look at the equilibrium effects of homophily in network formation games having positive externalities. I show that … very weak preferences for network effects (such as preference for being part of a clique) may result in very high levels of … homophily at equilibrium. I present an empirical procedure that allows an evaluation of the role of network effects on the …

We develop a new network measure, the contagion threshold, that determines when a p … show that a p-dominant action spreads to the whole network whenever the contagion threshold of that network is greater or … the long run.

We study the problem of a planner designing a weighted and directed network to achieve her objectives subject to an … organizational resource constraint.
