We analyze a model of price competition ά la Bertrand in a network environment. Firms only have a limited information on the structure of network: they know the number of potential customers they can attract and the degree distribution of customers. This incomplete information framework...

We survey and synthesize models of network formation based on random graphs and stochastic processes. We organize the material according to whether the population is treated as fixed or dynamic. We pay particular attention to the effects of homophilous linking on network structure. Finally, we...

We study network formation where nodes are born sequentially and form links with previously born nodes. Connections are formed through a combination of random meetings and through search, as in Jackson and Rogers (2007). A newborn's random meetings of existing nodes are type-dependent and the...

We define a class of pure exchange Edgeworth trading processes that under minimal assumptions converge to a stable set in the space of allocations, and characterise the Pareto set of these processes. Choosing a specific process belonging to this class, that we define fair trading, we analyse the...
