This study explores mechanism design for networks of interpersonal relationships. Agents' social (i.e., altruistic or …

. Two well-known network structures are hierarchies and communication networks. We give an overview of the most common … models of communication and hierarchy restrictions in cooperative games, compare different network structures with each other … illustrate these network structures by applying them to cooperative games with restricted cooperation. …

We study the stability of social and economic networks when players are farsighted. In particular, we examine whether … the networks formed by farsighted players are different from those formed by myopic players. We adopt Herings, Mauleon and … Vannetelbosch's (Games and Economic Behavior, forthcoming) notion of pairwise farsightedly stable set. We first investigate in some …

networks. We provide a refinement of pairwise stability, p-pairwise stability, which allows us to characterize the … stochastically stable networks without requiring the "tree construction" and the computation of resistance that may be quite complex … solve the inexistence problem of p-pairwise stable networks, we define its set-valued extension with the notion of p …
