alternative network structures (not just sub-networks) can and should influence the allocation of value among players on any given …Previous allocation rules for network games, such as the Myerson Value, implicitly or explicitly take the network … structure as fixed. In many situations, however, the network structure can be altered by players. This means that the value of …

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 …
