构建了一个内生网络形成模型,其中代理人通过建立连接来获取信息,模型考虑了行动的互补性,均衡时信息结构为层级网络,在弱凸连接成本下形成核心-边缘结构。

Abstract

We develop an endogenous network formation model, in which agents form connections to acquire information. Our model features complementarity in actions as agents care not only about accuracy of their decision-making but also about the actions of other agents. In equilibrium, the information structure is a hierarchical network, and, under weakly convex cost of forming links, the equilibrium network is core-periphery. Although agents are ex ante identical, there is ex post heterogeneity in payoffs and actions.
