We introduce a noncooperative multilateral bargaining model for a network-restricted environment, in which players can … their communication links with upfront transfers. The main theorem characterizes a condition on network structures for … efficient equilibria and shows the prevalence of strategic delays. If the underlying network is either complete or circular …

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 … discussion of efficient network and coalition formation procedures and directions for future research. …

This chapter surveys a sizable and growing literature on coalition formation. We refer to theories in which one or more … payoffs at each date according to the coalition structure prevailing at the time. We use this model to nest two broad … approaches to coalition formation, one based on cooperative game theory, the other based on noncooperative bargaining. Three …
