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 …

. Two well-known network structures are hierarchies and communication networks. We give an overview of the most common …Agents participating in different kind of organizations, usually take different positions in some network structure … models of communication and hierarchy restrictions in cooperative games, compare different network structures with each other …

This chapter surveys recent models of coalition and network formation in a unified framework. Comparisons are drawn … among various procedures of network and coalition formation, involving simultaneous and sequential moves. The survey also … covers models of group and network formation by farsighted players and in dynamic contexts. The chapter concludes with a …

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 …

Recent research in the field of network economics has shown how explicitly modelling the network structure of social … empirical evidence. Despite their critical importance to many environmental problems, network structures and dynamics have been … networks can provide new insights for both theory and practice, and identifying several avenues for future research.
