Title
Network formation and social reputation: a theoretical model and simulation analysis
Abstract
In this paper, we deal with a network formation model where the utility of a player depends not only on the benefit from a network but also on the social reputation of the player. In the model, we examine the stability of networks and show the diversity of structures of the stable networks. Moreover, to complement the theoretical consideration, we perform simulation experiments for analysing the network formation. To do so, we develop a simulation system with artificial adaptive agents with a mechanism for decision making and learning based on neural networks and genetic algorithms.
