Public goods games in directed networks
C Papadimitriou, B Peng - Proceedings of the 22nd ACM Conference on …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
Public goods games in undirected networks are generally known to have pure Nash
equilibria, which are easy to find. In contrast, we prove that, in directed networks, a broad …
