Networks information in the civil wars
Estrada, Fernando - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014
The aim of this paper is to interpret the relationships between information networks and the civil wars (Colombia). Over a period of paramilitary violence networks of informants were used with a strategic purpose. In fact, the paramilitaries were preparing each slaughter counting information...

Network Games with Incomplete Information
De Martí, Joan; Zenou, Yves - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2014
We consider a network game with strategic complementarities where the individual reward or the strength of interactions is only partially known by the agents. Players receive different correlated signals and they make inferences about other players' information. We demonstrate that there exists...

Strategic Information Acquisition in Networked Groups with “Informational Spillovers”
Jiménez-Martínez, Antonio - Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) - 2009
This paper develops a model of costly information acquisition by agents who are connected through a network. For a exogenously given network, each agent decides first on information acquisition from his neighbors and then, after processing the information acquired, takes an action. Each agent is...

Dynamics of information exchange in endogenous social networks
Bimpikis, Kostas; Ozdaglar, Asuman; Acemoglu, Daron - In: Theoretical Economics 9 (2014) 1
We develop a model of information exchange through communication and investigate its implications for information … to form a costly \textit{communication link} with, incurring the associated cost. After receiving a \textit …{private signal} correlated with the underlying state, they exchange information over the induced \textit{communication network} until …

Heterogeneous network games: Conflicting preferences
Hernández, Penélope; Muñoz-Herrera, Manuel; … - In: Games and Economic Behavior 79 (2013) C, pp. 56-66
In many economic situations, a player pursues coordination or anti-coordination with her neighbors on a network, but she also has intrinsic preferences among the available options. We here introduce a model which allows to analyze this issue by means of a simple framework in which players...

Conflict and segregation in networks: An experiment on the interplay between individual preferences and social influence
Ellwardt, Lea; Hernández, Penélope; … - Estructura de Recerca Interdisciplinar Comportament … - 2014
We examine the interplay between a person's individual preference and the social influence others exert. We provide a model of network relationships with conflicting preferences, where individuals are better off coordinating with those around them, but not all prefer the same action. We test our...

Coordination structures
García, Alfonso Rosa; Kiss, Hubert Janos - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 2012
We study a coordination problem where agents act sequentially. Agents are embedded in anobservation network that allows them to observe the actions of their neighbors. We find thatcoordination failures do not occur if there exists a sufficiently large clique. Its existence isnecessary and...

Anticipating Future Expected Utility and Coordination Motives for Information Decisions in Networks
Jiménez-Martínez, Antonio - Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) - 2012
This paper investigates empirically the relationship between inflation, inflation volatility and output growth in the case of México using monthly data over the period 1993-2011. Specifically a bivariate GARCH-M model is estimated to test the hypotheses that inflation rates are directly related...
