We provide an overview on networks in economics. We first look at the theoretical aspects of network economics using a … game-theoretical approach. We derive some results on games on networks and network formation. We also study what happens …

We provide an overview and synthesis of the literatures analyzing games where players are connected via a network … structure. We study, in particular, the impact of the structure of the network on individuals’ behaviors. We focus on the game …

Delinquents are embedded in a network of relationships. Social ties among delinquents are modelled by means of a graph … non-cooperative way how much delinquency effort he will exert. Using the network model developed by Ballester et al. (2006 … characterization of optimal single player network removal for delinquency reduction, the key player, to optimal group removal, the key …

first develop a model that shows that, at the Nash equilibrium, the outcome of each individual embedded in a network is … network specific factors, the individual's position in a network (as measured by her Katz-Bonacich centrality) is a key …

exerts, can be interpreted as a network game with local payoff complementarities, together with a globally uniform payoff … her Bonacich centrality in the network of local complementarities, thus establishing a bridge with the sociology … literature on social networks. This Bonacich-Nash linkage implies that aggregate equilibrium increases with network size and …

We study from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective how a network of military alliances and enmities affects … the intensity of a conflict. The model combines elements from network theory and from the politico-economic theory of … characterization of the Nash equilibrium of the fighting game, and of how the network structure affects individual and total fighting …
