This paper proposes new centrality measures to characterise the 'key class', when agents in a network are sorted into … role-equivalent classes, such that its removal results in an optimal change in the network activity. The notion of role … theoretical applicability. Players in the network engage in a non-cooperative game with local payoff complementarities. We …

Theoretical models on network formation focus mostly on the stability and efficiency of equilibria, but they cannot … starting network. To study factors affecting equilibrium selection, we designed a network formation experiment with multiple … stage in which the network is disrupted. This setting allows us to analyze the interplay between the need for farsightedness …

The cost function of an agent … captures the cost that the agent incurs to maintain links in the network. With this utility function, we analyze what network … exists a pairwise stable network, which is also efficient. We show that all pairwise stable networks are efficient, and hence …
