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

High levels of clustering—the tendency for two nodes in a network to share a neighbor—are ubiquitous in economic and … otherwise separate network regions, representing rewards for filling “structural holes” in the sense of Burt (1992) and keeping … distances in networks short. This paper proposes a parsimonious model of network formation with introductions and intermediation …

We introduce a new network centrality measure founded on the Gately value for cooperative games with transferable … utilities. A directed network is interpreted as representing control or authority relations between players-constituting a … hierarchical network. The power distribution embedded within a hierarchical network can be represented through appropriate TU …

a model of cooperative network formation where the network is formed through the process of the coordination game being … played between multiple agents. Additionally, network effects are modeled in by the fact that the benefit to any agent from a …
