Costly network formation and regular equilibria
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that for generic network-formation games where players incur a strictly positive cost to propose links the number of Nash equilibria is finite. Furthermore all Nash equilibria are regular and, therefore, stable sets.

Predicting the Hydrate Formation Temperature by a New Correlation and Neural Network
Gas hydrates are a costly problem when they plug oil and gas pipelines. The best way to determine the HFT and pressure is to measure these conditions experimentally for every gas system. Since this is not practical in terms of time and money, correlations are the other alternative tools. There are a small number of correlations for specific gravity method to predict the hydrate formation. As th...
متن کاملDEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS WORKING PAPER SERIES A Belief-based Approach to Network Formation
In this paper we consider four different game-theoretic approaches to describe the formation of social networks under mutual consent and costly communication. First, we consider Jackson-Wolinsky’s concept of pairwise stability. Next, we introduce a stronger version of this concept based on linking decisions by nodes, denoted as strict pairwise stability. Third, we consider Myerson’s consent gam...
متن کاملNetwork formation , cost - sharing and anti - coordination ∗ Dunia López - Pintado
This paper presents a non-cooperative model of network formation where agents link to play anti-coordination games. Links are costly but, unlike in standard one-sided models, the cost is shared between the two players involved in a link. We show that the set of Nash equilibria of the resulting social game shrinks as the shares of the link cost are more equal. In the extreme case in which each a...
متن کاملPartial Cooperative Equilibria: Existence and Characterization
We study the solution concepts of partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibria and partial cooperative Stackelberg equilibria. The partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibrium is axiomatically characterized by using notions of rationality, consistency and converse consistency with regard to reduced games. We also establish sufficient conditions for which partial cooperative Cournot-Nash equilibr...
متن کاملAn Irregular Lattice Pore Network Model Construction Algorithm
Pore network modeling uses a network of pores connected by throats to model the void space of a porous medium and tries to predict its various characteristics during multiphase flow of various fluids. In most cases, a non-realistic regular lattice of pores is used to model the characteristics of a porous medium. Although some methodologies for extracting geologically realistic irregular net...
