Title
Link Bias in Network Formation Games
Abstract
We show a simple method for constructing an infinite family of graph formation games with link bias so that the resulting games admits, as a textit{pair wise stable} solution, a graph with an arbitrarily specified degree distribution. Pair wise stability is used as the equilibrium condition over the more commonly used Nash equilibrium to prevent the occurrence of ill-behaved equilibrium strategies that do not occur in ordinary play. We construct this family of games by solving an integer programming problem whose constraints enforce the terminal pair wise stability property we desire.
