While transfers are based on social norms, each individual must have the incentive to abide by those norms, and so we investigate the structure of self-enforcing insurance networks. Network links play two distinct and possibly conflictual roles. First, they act as conduits for transfers. Second, they act as conduits ...
متن کاملRanked Voting on Social Networks
Classic social choice literature assumes that votes are independent (but possibly conditioned on an underlying objective ground truth). This assumption is unrealistic in settings where the voters are connected via an underlying social network structure, as social interactions lead to correlated votes. We establish a general framework — based on random utility theory — for ranked voting on a soc...

We show that as the number of voters increases, the fraction of voters who acquire information declines to zero. However, if the support of the cost distribution is not bounded away from zero, there is an equilibriu...

We propose a utility function to measure the rational benefit derived by a user from her participation in an SN, in terms of information acquired vs information provided. We show that independently...
