摘要:We study the problem of designing efficient network sequentially. In each period, the planner connects two agents who have not been previously linked in the network created in earlier periods, and then the agents engage in a game with local complementarity based on the newly established network. The planner benefits from the entire discounted stream of equilibrium welfare. We show that creating a nested split graph in each period constitutes the optimal strategy for the planner, regardless of the values of discount factors. Moreover, when the planner discounts future welfare heavily, the optimal strategy induces a quasi-complete graph in each period, irrespective of the strength of complementary effect. Our paper therefore provides a micro-foundation for quasi-complete network since it is formed under greedy algorithm. We also investigate the robustness of these findings under non-linear best response and weighted networks.
