Abstract

This paper studies the roles of value heterogeneity, that is, agents are heterogeneous in terms of information values that they possess, in determining the shapes of two-way flow Strict Nash networks when a small amount of decay is present. I do so by extending the two-way flow network with small decay of De Jaegher and Kamphorst (J ECON BEHAV ORGAN, 2015). Results of this extension show that the effects of value heterogeneity resemble the effects of cost heterogeneity found in the literature. Another surprising finding is that value heterogeneity can extend diameters of Strict Nash networks without changing other properties.
