We introduce a heterogeneous connection model for network formation to capture the effect of cost heterogeneity on the structure of efficient networks. In the proposed model, connection costs are assumed to be separable, which means the total connection cost for each agent is uniquely...

There are many social and economic situations where two or more communities need to be integrated in an efficient and stable way that facilitates overall resource access throughout the network. We study structures for efficient integration of multi-community networks where building bridges...

"This book discusses re-engineering the sharing economy and appeals to a broad, cross-disciplinary range of academic readers and to non-academic readers intrigued by the sharing economy as a disruptive force. It is for readers concerned about reports describing the sharing economy as creating...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore emerging trends in the content of codes of ethics of US Fortune 100 and Global 100 corporate web sites through a longitudinal study. Design/methodology/approach – The web sites of the 200 companies were surfed and the relevant documents of...

Anecdotal evidences point to effectiveness of COVID-19 social distancing policies, however, their effectiveness vis-a-vis what is driven by public awareness and voluntary actions have not been studied. Policy variations across US states create a natural experiment to study the causal impact of...

The proliferation of internet-based home-sharing platforms like Airbnb has raised heated debates, with many in the general public believing that the presence of Airbnb can lead to an increase in crime and disorder in residential neighborhoods. Despite the importance of this debate to residents,...

Why do coalitions of people or firms stay intact overtime in some situations, while in other situations the size and members of the coalitions change frequently? This paper develops a framework based on dynamic hedonic games, a special class of cooperative games, to find conditions for the...
