A Marginalist Model of Network Formation
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2016-08-18)We develop a network-formation model where the quality of a link depends on the amount invested in it and is determined by a link-formation "technology" , an increasing strictly concave function which is the only exogenous ... -
A Unifying model of strategic network formation
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2015-02-17)We provide a model that merges two basic models of strategic network formation and incorporates them as extreme cases: Jackson and Wolinsky' s connections model based on bilateral formation of links, and Bala and Goyal' s ... -
Asymmetric flow networks
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV-EHU, 2012-06-22)This paper provides a new model of network formation that bridges the gap between the two benchmark models by Bala and Goyal, the one-way flow model, and the two-way flow model, and includes both as particular extreme ... -
Efficiency vs. Stability in a Mixed Network Formation Model
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2015-03-26)The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the incomplete results relative to effciency in a transitional model introduced in a previous paper, distinguishing two types of links, strong or doubly-supported and weak or ... -
From bilateral two-way to unilateral one-way flow link-formation
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2014-11-26)We provide a model that bridges de gap between the simplest variation of two benchmark models of strategic network formation: Bala and Goyal s one-way ow model without decay, where links can be unilaterally formed, and a ... -
Network formation under institutional constraints
(2011-05)We study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. An exogenous "societal cover" consisting of a collection of possibly overlapping subsets covering the set of players specifies ... -
The Economics of "Why is it so hard to save a threatened Language?"
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-02)We study the language choice behavior of bilingual speakers in modern societies, such as the Basque Country, Ireland andWales. These countries have two o cial languages:A, spoken by all, and B, spoken by a minority. We ... -
The impact of liberalizing cost-saharing on basic models of network formation
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2015-09-12)This paper studies the impact of "liberalizing " the cost-sharing of links on some basic models of network formation. This is done in a setting where both doubly supported and singly supported links are possible, and which ... -
Unilateral vs. Bilateral link-formation: Bridging the gap
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-05-28)We provide a model that bridges the gap between two benchmark models of strategic network formation: Jackson and Wolinsky' s model based on bilateral formation of links, and Bala and Goyal's two-way fl ow model, where links ...
