Strategic competitions over networks
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- I present three applications of network theory to economic applications. The first chapter studies strategic spending in voting competitions with social networks. It finds that equilibrium spending targets voters whose position in the network has a high eigenvector influence. The second chapter studies how eigenvector influence changes when disconnected components of a network begin interacting. The result has implications for inequality in investment with social spill-overs and for consumption decisions with social influence. The final chapter studies pricing competitions in infrastructure networks. It finds how the structure of the network influences pricing behavior and market surplus.
