In Search of Stars: Network Formation among Heterogeneous Agents

Ule, Alja; Goeree, Jacob K.; Riedl, Arno - 2007

This paper reports results from a laboratory experiment on network formation among heterogeneous agents. The … experimental design extends the Bala-Goyal (2000) model of network formation with decay and two-way flow of benefits by allowing …

Existence of Nash networks in one-way flow models

Billand, Pascal; Bravard, Christophe; Sarangi, Sudipta - 2007

This paper addresses the existence of Nash equilibria in one-way flow or directed network models in a number of different settings. In these models players form costly links with other players and obtain resources from them through the directed path connecting them. We find that heterogeneity in...

Endogenous Network Formation in the Laboratory

Celen, Bogachan; Hyndman, Kyle - Southern Methodist University, Department of Economics - 2007

This paper provides an experimental test of a theory of endogenous network forma- tion. A group of subjects face a decision problem under uncertainty. The subjects are endowed with a private information about the fundamentals of the problem, and they are supposed to make a decision one after the...

Strategic Basins of Attraction, the Path Dominance Core, and Network Formation Games

Page, Frank; Wooders, Myrna - Center for Applied Economics and Policy Research … - 2007

Given the preferences of players and the rules governing network formation, what networks are likely to emerge and … these questions we introduce a model of network formation whose primitives consist of a feasible set of networks, player … preferences, the rules of network formation, and a dominance relation on feasible networks. The rules of network formation may …

Cooperation through Imitation and Exclusion in Networks

Mengel, Friederike; Fosco, Constanza - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2007

We develop a simple model to study the coevolution of interaction structures and action choices in prisoners' dilemma games. Agents are boundedly rational and choose both actions and interaction partners via payoff-biased imitation. The dynamics of imitation and exclusion yields polymorphic...
