Equilibrium characterization and shock propagation in conflict networks

J Xu, Y Zenou, J Zhou - Journal of Economic Theory, 2022 - Elsevier
We establish the general properties of equilibria (existence and uniqueness) in a very
general model of interconnected multiplayer conflicts. In particular, under mild conditions on …

Structural interventions in networks

Y Sun, W Zhao, J Zhou - International economic review, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Two types of interventions are commonly implemented in networks: characteristics
interventions, which influence individuals' intrinsic incentives, and structural interventions …

Network Threshold Games

A Langtry, S Taylor, Y Zhang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.04540, 2024 - arxiv.org
This paper studies the general class of games where agents:(1) are embedded on a
network,(2) have two possible actions, and (3) these actions are strategic complements. We …

Multi-activity influence and intervention

R Kor, J Zhou - Games and Economic Behavior, 2023 - Elsevier
Using a general network model with multiple activities, we analyse a planner's welfare
maximising interventions taking into account within-activity network spillovers and cross …

[图书][B] Perceived competition in networks

O Bochet, M Faure, Y Long, Y Zenou - 2020 - econ.cuhk.edu.hk
We consider an aggregative game of competition in which agents have an imperfect
knowledge about the set of agents they are in competition with. We model agent's perceived …

[PDF][PDF] Network-dependent externalities in contests

L Boosey, C Brown - 2022 - myweb.fsu.edu
This paper considers a model of contests in which players have general preferences over
the allocation of a valuable prize. We examine the impact of identity-dependent externalities …

Beyond Global Maximizers: Unveiling the Full Potential of Potential Games

Z Cao, Z Tan, J Zhou - Available at SSRN 4704774, 2024 - papers.ssrn.com
The potential function method is a powerful tool to study the existence and uniqueness of
Nash equilibrium (Slade, 1994; Monderer and Shapley, 1996). Global maximizers of a …

Games on Multiplex Networks

Y Zenou, J Zhou - Available at SSRN 4772575, 2024 - papers.ssrn.com
We provide a simple network model of multiple layers, an important but understudied topic in
the network literature. On any layer, agents' incentives are influenced by their within-layer …

Helping behavior in networked organizations

X Shi - European Economic Review, 2024 - Elsevier
This article studies a networked organization in which agents work to directly increase the
team's output and help neighbors to reduce the disutility of working. I build a tractable …

Contests with Network Externalities: Theory & Evidence

L Boosey, C Brown - Available at SSRN 3890367, 2021 - papers.ssrn.com
We study competitive behavior in all-pay Tullock (1980) contests with identity-dependent
externalities (IDEs) governed by a fixed network. First, we introduce a model of network …
