There are many social and economic situations where two or more communities need to be integrated in an efficient and stable way that facilitates overall resource access throughout the network. We study structures for efficient integration of multi-community networks where building bridges...

We introduce a heterogeneous connection model for network formation to capture the effect of cost heterogeneity on the structure of efficient networks. In the proposed model, connection costs are assumed to be separable, which means the total connection cost for each agent is uniquely...
