Network formation under linking constraints

Abstract

We study the effects of linking constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. An exogenous “link-constraining system” specifies the admissible links. It is assumed that each player may initiate links only with players within a specified set of players, thus restricting the feasible strategies and networks. In this setting, we examine the impact of such constraints on stable/efficient architectures and on dynamics.
