This paper studies a model of dynamic network formation when individuals are farsighted: players evaluate the desirability of a “current” move in terms of its consequences on the entire discounted stream of payoffs. We define a concept of equilibrium which takes into account farsighted behavior of agents and allows for limited cooperation amongst agents. We show that an equilibrium process of network formation exists. We also show that there are valuation structures in which no equilibrium strategy profile can sustain efficient networks. We then provide sufficient conditions under which the equilibrium process will yield efficient outcomes. 相似文献

竞争、不确定性与企业间技术创新合作 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28
新古典经济学认为企业间结网合作与利己短视的理性经济人假设不相一致。对此 ,目前经济理论已有所突破。较早的博弈论无名氏定理指出 ,只要有足够的耐心重复进行博弈就可能达到合作的效果。近来提出的网络形成理论则认为网络的形成及稳定完全依赖于结网的直接间接收益与成本的权衡。但是 ,它们都还不能反映企业所面临的不确定性和市场竞争环境对企业策略行为的影响 ,从而无法解释合作分享为什么会发生在硅谷那样竞争空前激烈、流动异常频繁的地方而在另一些得到政府扶持保护的地方却难现其踪。本文以硅谷为代表的自组织创新网络为研究原型 ,构造了一个基于企业复合实物期权创新合作行为的创新网络模型 ,从中得到了两点新的重要发现 :①与无名氏定理的要求相反 ,体现竞争压力和不确定性的急切感是企业间结网合作的必要条件 ;②能够实现最大增值的创新网络是不断更新的概率暂存网络。 相似文献

A Dynamic Model of Network Formation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Alison Watts 《Games and Economic Behavior》2001,34(2):331-341
Network structure plays a significant role in determining the outcome of many important economic relationships; therefore it is crucial to know which network configurations will arise. We analyze the process of network formation in a dynamic framework, where self-interested individuals can form and sever links. We determine which network structures the formation process will converge to. This information allows us to determine whether or not the formation process will converge to an efficient network structure. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Numbers: A14, C7, D20. 相似文献

Job contact networks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Antoni Calvó-Armengol 《Journal of Economic Theory》2004,115(1):191-206
Many workers hear about or obtain their jobs through friends and relatives. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we relate both individual and aggregate labor market outcomes to the network structure of personal contacts. Second, we study strategic network formation. To this purpose, we develop a model specifying at the individual level both the decision to form contacts with other agents, and the process by which information about jobs is obtained and transmitted. We show that equilibrium networks always exist and that only moderate levels of network asymmetry can be sustained at equilibrium. Also, we establish a general non-monotonicity result on information flow and unemployment with respect to network size in symmetric networks. 相似文献

Network formation and stable equilibrium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We study the non-cooperative formation of a (directed) network that builds upon one-way immediate links. Our novel feature is that we require circular paths of links for productive activities. This captures more clearly the higher level of coordination that is often required for network formations than models such as those of Jackson and Wolinsky [A strategic model of social and economic networks, J. Econ. Theory 71 (1996) 44-74] and Bala and Goyal [A non-cooperative model of network formation, Econometrica 68 (2000) 1181-1229], in that in our model a single agent's unilateral action is limited in affecting the network structure. We completely characterize the class of Nash equilibria by showing that the minimality of a graph is both necessary and sufficient (Theorem 1). We also propose the concept of a stable network that is similar to the pairwise stability of Jackson and Wolinsky (1996). We show that stable equilibria are a wheel, a trivial network, or a sub-wheel partitioned network (Theorem 2). We modify the Bala and Goyal (2000) dynamic process with inertia, and obtain the convergence to stable equilibria regardless of the initial state (Theorem 3). 相似文献

In recent work on non-cooperative network formation star-shaped networks play an important role. In a particular theoretical
model of Bala and Goyal (2000) center-sponsored stars are the only strict Nash networks. In testing this theoretical model,
Falk and Kosfeld (2003) do not find experimental evidence that players select the center-sponsored star. Based on a slight
modification of Bala and Goyal’s model, we design a network formation experiment in which, depending on link costs, periphery-sponsored
stars and the empty network are the only strict Nash networks. We observe that almost all groups not only reach a strict Nash
network once but also switch the center player in periphery-sponsored stars several times. The main innovation in our experiment
is to use a continuous time framework which we believe to be a more realistic setting to study behavior in network formation
situations and which makes coordination on stars much easier than simultaneous strategy adaptation in discrete time.

I examine the formation of a specific communication network, a variant of the two-way flow model, in which agents have farsighted strategies. I show that the likelihood to form efficient networks tends to zero for sufficiently large network sizes. 相似文献

In this paper, we develop a theoretical model able to capture some of the main features that govern knowledge sharing and
innovation. We pursue our target developing an agent-based model in which the social network of interactions is specified
as a knowledge resource, and knowledge integration is seen as the process by which the resource can be applied to innovation.
The results of the simulation exercises show that the initial architecture of acquaintance networks is a crucial factor for
innovation. Innovating has proven to be more than simply equating endowments of initial skills with firm performance. In fact,
the performance of the system showed high sensitivity to the arrangement of the firm’s initial location in the social network.
Moreover, the way in which acquaintance networks were mobilized emerged as a key determinant of innovation patterns. The model
presented here is a relatively theoretical, stylized model and we employ it to draw some general, albeit preliminary conclusions,
while illustrating some of the theory relevant to the issues discussed. It is argued that the model might serve the purpose
of setting an agenda for further research along this line of investigation—that is, knowledge integration patterns and firms
partnerships formation. 相似文献

Homophily, or the fact that similar individuals tend to interact with each other, is a prominent feature of economic and social networks. I show that the equilibrium structure of homophily has empirical power. I build a strategic model of network formation, which produces a unique equilibrium network. Individuals have homophilic preferences and face capacity constraints on the number of links. I develop a novel empirical method, based on the shape of the equilibrium network, which allows for the identification and estimation of the underlying homophilic preferences. I apply this new methodology to the formation of friendship networks. 相似文献

The aim of the article is to relate the formation of influence networks to the coexistence of technologies in the long run. In the spirit of Plouraboue et al. (1998), we postulate that potential adopters of a technology are situated in a social network. In our model, initial relations are partly negative and all the expected utilities are revised in parallel. In the case of an exogenous network, opinions can fluctuate endlessly. When agents reallocate their relationships, this reinforces trust in agents whose opinion is close to theirs. As a result of this process, the network stabilizes in the long run, generating diversity in expected utilities. 相似文献

The paper examines the formation of free trade agreements as a network formation game. We consider an n‐country model in which international trade occurs between economies with imperfectly competitive product markets. In each country, the labor market is either unionized or non‐unionized. We show that, if all countries are non‐unionized, the global free trade network is both the unique pairwise stable network and the unique efficient network. If all countries are unionized, the global free trade network is pairwise stable and the unique efficient network among the class of symmetric networks. If some countries are unionized while others are non‐unionized, other networks apart from the global free trade network may be pairwise stable. However, the efficient network is still the global free trade network. Thus, a conflict between stability and efficiency may occur. Moreover, starting from the network in which no country has signed a free trade agreement, all sequences of networks due to continuously profitable deviations do not lead (in most cases) to the global free trade network, even when global free trade is stable. 相似文献

Network formation and social coordination 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This paper develops a simple model to examine the interaction between partner choice and individual behavior in games of coordination. An important ingredient of our approach is the way we model partner choice: we suppose that a player can establish ties with other players by unilaterally investing in costly pairwise links. In this context, individual efforts to balance the costs and benefits of links are shown to lead to a unique equilibrium interaction architecture. The dynamics of network formation, however, has powerful effects on individual behavior: if costs of forming links are below a certain threshold then players coordinate on the risk-dominant action, while if costs are above this threshold then they coordinate on the efficient action. These findings are robust to modifications in the link formation process, different specifications of link formation costs, alternative models of mutations as well as the possibility of interaction among indirectly connected players. 相似文献

Coordination in evolving networks with endogenous decay 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper studies an evolutionary model of network formation with endogenous decay, in which agents benefit both from direct and indirect connections. In addition to forming (costly) links, agents choose actions for a coordination game that determines the level of decay of each link. We address the issues of coordination (long-run equilibrium selection) and network formation by means of stochastic stability techniques. We find that the long-run behavior of the system depends on a fine interplay of the link cost and the trade-off between efficiency and risk-dominance. 相似文献
