Since we consider publicly available networks any group of players is … allowed to use the entire network to establish their connection. We deal with the problem of finding an optimal network, the …

This paper analyses the private provision of public goods where agents interact within a fixed network structure and … in networks model of Bramoullé and Kranton (2007) to allow for constrained provision. In so doing, we show that, using … the concept of k-insulated set, any network supports a Nash equilibrium with no intermediate contributors. …
