Equilibrium characterization and shock propagation in conflict networks
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
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 …

[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
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
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
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 …
