This paper reports the results of a laboratory experiment on network formation among heterogeneous agents. The … experimental design extends the basic Bala-Goyal (2000) model of network formation with decay and two-way flow of benefits by … network has a star structure. We find that with homogeneous agents, equilibrium predictions fail completely. In contrast, with …

Delinquents are embedded in a network of relationships. Social ties among delinquents are modeled 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 …

In this paper we examine possible network formations among immigrants and natives with endogenous investment. We … consider a model of a network formation where the initiator of the link bears its cost while both agents benefit from it. We …
