We examine the formation of networks among a set of players whose payoffs depend on the structure of the network. We … network or only on the link itself. A final aspect is whether or not players can pay other players to refrain from forming … links. We characterize the networks that are supported under these variations and show how each of the above aspects is …

In many situations, however, the network structure can be altered by players. This means that the value of …
