Most network games assume that the best response of a player is a linear function of the actions of her neighbors … network models in the existing literature, including those with nonlinear best responses, can be transformed into games with … produce a unified framework that provides conditions for existence and uniqueness of equilibrium for most network games with …

This paper analyses a simultaneous game of network formation and information acquisition where the benefit structure is … such that the benefit that an agent derives from the network she is located in depends on the maximum information that … someone in her neighbourhood, including herself, acquires. It turns out that in equilibrium star network emerges as the unique …

In the benchmark model of Bala and Goyal (2000) on network formation, the equilibrium network is asymmetric and unfair … impacts the network formation process by increasing the asymmetry of networks but does not decrease the level of fairness nor …

The paper proposes a game of weighted network formation in which each agent has a limited resource to form links of …, uniquely predicts the equilibrium values of each agent's network investment and utility level, as well as the ratio of any two …

We develop a new class of random-graph models for the statistical estimation of network formation---subgraph generated …) are generated and their union results in a network. We show that all SUGMs are identified and, further, establish the … whether network structure helps enforce risk-sharing, whether cross-caste interactions are more likely to be private, and how …
