Equity Pay In Networked Teams
Krishna Dasaratha, Benjamin Golub, Anant Shah
A group of agents each exert effort to produce a joint output, with the complementarities between their efforts represented by a (weighted) network. Under equity compensation, a pr…
On the Difficulty of Characterizing Network Formation with Endogenous Behavior
Benjamin Golub, Yu-Chi Hsieh, Evan Sadler
Bolletta (2021, Math. Soc. Sci. 114:1-10) studies a model in which a network is strategically formed and then agents play a linear best-response investment game in it. The model is…
Corporate Culture and Organizational Fragility
Matthew Elliott, Benjamin Golub, Matthieu V. Leduc
Complex organizations accomplish tasks through many steps of collaboration among workers. Corporate culture supports collaborations by establishing norms and reducing misunderstand…
Taxes and Market Power: A Principal Components Approach
Andrea Galeotti, Benjamin Golub, Sanjeev Goyal +2
Suppliers of differentiated goods make simultaneous pricing decisions, which are strategically linked. Because of market power, the equilibrium is inefficient. We study how a polic…
A Network Approach to Public Goods: A Short Summary
Matthew Elliott, Benjamin Golub
Suppose agents can exert costly effort that creates nonrival, heterogeneous benefits for each other. At each possible outcome, a weighted, directed network describing marginal exte…
Discord and Harmony in Networks
Andrea Galeotti, Benjamin Golub, Sanjeev Goyal +1
Consider a coordination game played on a network, where agents prefer taking actions closer to those of their neighbors and to their own ideal points in action space. We explore ho…
Games on Endogenous Networks
Evan Sadler, Benjamin Golub
We study network games in which players choose both the partners with whom they associate and an action level (e.g., effort) that creates spillovers for those partners. We introduc…
Expectations, Networks, and Conventions
Benjamin Golub, Stephen Morris
In coordination games and speculative over-the-counter financial markets, solutions depend on higher-order average expectations: agents' expectations about what counterparties, on…
Notes on a Social Transmission Model with a Continuum of Agents
Benjamin Golub
This note presents a simple overlapping-generations (OLG) model of the transmission of a trait, such as a culture. Initially, some fraction of agents carry the trait. In each time…
Supply Network Formation and Fragility
Matthew Elliott, Benjamin Golub, Matthew V. Leduc
We model the production of complex goods in a large supply network. Each firm sources several essential inputs through relationships with other firms. Individual supply relationshi…
Introduction to Network Games with Linear Best Responses
Benjamin Golub
This note, suitable for a lecture in an advanced undergraduate or basic graduate course on the economic theory of networks, exposits basic ideas of linear best-response games and t…
Learning from Neighbors about a Changing State
Krishna Dasaratha, Benjamin Golub, Nir Hak
Agents learn about a changing state using private signals and their neighbors' past estimates of the state. We present a model in which Bayesian agents in equilibrium use neighbors…
Targeting Interventions in Networks
Andrea Galeotti, Benjamin Golub, Sanjeev Goyal
We study games in which a network mediates strategic spillovers and externalities among the players. How does a planner optimally target interventions that change individuals' priv…
Strategic Random Networks: Why Social Networking Technology Matters
Benjamin Golub, Yair Livne
This paper develops strategic foundations for an important statistical model of random networks with heterogeneous expected degrees. Based on this, we show how social networking se…
How Homophily Affects Diffusion and Learning in Networks
Benjamin Golub, Matthew O. Jackson
We examine how three different communication processes operating through social networks are affected by homophily -- the tendency of individuals to associate with others similar t…
