We run a computerised experiment of network formation where all connections are beneficial and only direct links are … simulated and experimentally generated data to test the determinants of individual behaviour in network formation. We find that … approximately 40% of the network formation strategies adopted by the experimental subjects can be accounted for as best responses …
