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 … related either to accounting for a specific type of externality, or to dealing with the combinatorial nature of network …

collect data from UEFA Euro 2008 Tournament and construct the passing network of each team. Then we determine the key player …

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 … alternative network structures (not just sub-networks) can and should influence the allocation of value among players on any given …

This paper studies the properties of convexity (concavity) and strategic complements (substitutes) in network formation … shown that there always exists a pairwise stable network as long as the utility function of each player satisfies convexity … in own links and strategic complements. For network societies with a profile of utility functions satisfying concavity in …
