Diffusion, Strategic Interaction, and Social Structure (2011, neutral): “There are also some models that study co-evolving social relationships and play in games with neighbors, such as Ely (2002), Mailath, Samuelson, and Shaked (2000), Jackson and Watts (2002, 2010), Droste, Gilles, and Johnson (2003), Corbae and Duffy (2003), and Goyal and Vega-Redondo (2005).”
Social Activity and Network Formation (2015, background): “…star network constitutes the most prominent robust equilibrium under strategic substitutes (Propositions 2 and 3 in Galeotti and Goyal 2010) and is also a possible outcome under strategic complements.6 5A social hierarchy is commonly defined as “an implicit or explicit rank order of individuals or…”
The Law of the Few (2010, background): “There is a small body of work which combines network formation and play in games, see e.g., Goyal and Vega-Redondo (2005), Jackson and Watts (2002), Bramoulle et. al.”
The Evolution of Social and Economic Networks (2002, background): “See Jackson and Watts [ 24 ], Goyal and Vega-Redondo [19], and Droste et al. [7] for such analyses and further discussion.”
Building up social capital in a changing world (2002, positive): “Kandori et al. (1993), Young (1993), or Ellison (1993)) considered a set where the pattern of interaction of players (global or local) is fixed throughout, but recent work extends the analysis to a context where the network is not fixed but coevolves with players’ game decisions – see e.”
Evolutionary dynamics on graphs (2005, neutral): “Human organizations have complicated network structure”
The Stability and Efficiency of Economic and Social Networks (2003, background): “…these issues, studying how various random perturbations to and evolutionary pressures on networks affects the long run emergence of different networks structures (e.g., Jackson and Watts (1998, 1999), Goyal and Vega-Redondo (1999), Skyrms and Pemantle (2000), and Droste, Gilles and Johnson (2000)).”
Network formation and social coordination (2005, methodology): “In independent works, Droste et al. (1999) and Jackson and Watts (2002) also study a twosided link model where directly connected agents play a bilateral game, but allow for players to choose links and actions in separate revision stages.”
The Economics of Social Networks (2005, background): “For example, see Jackson and Watts (2002ab) and Goyal and Vega-Redondo (2005). as they trace network form to the incentives of the agents and the costs and bene ts of di¤erent links.”
A dynamic model of social network formation. (2000, background): “§An exception, perhaps, is a preprint we have recently encountered by Jackson and Watts (6).”
