Gilles, Robert P.; Sarangi, Sudipta - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2006

We examine the process of building social relationships as a non-cooperative game that requires mutual consent and involves reaching out to others at a cost. Players create their social network from amongst their set of acquaintances. Having acquaintances allows players to form naive beliefs...

Bandwidth Allocation in Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Networks

Mir, Albert Creus; Casadesus-Masanell, Ramon; … - NET Institute - 2006

We present a model of bandwidth allocation in a stylized peer-to-peer file sharing network. Given an arbitrary population of peers composed of sharers and freeriders, where all peers interconnect to maximize their allocated bandwidth, we derive the expected bandwidth obtained by sharers and...

Frank H. Page, Jr.; Wooders, Myrna H. - Vanderbilt University Department of Economics - 2006

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 …
