The junior seminar aims at gathering PhD students and post-docs whose research topics deal with game theory in a broad sense. During the seminar, the participants may present their works, advanced or in progress, to their peers. They may also present articles they believe are interesting (in a journal club fashion). They can be theoretical economists, mathematicians, and computer scientists. The seminar will take place around every two weeks on Mondays, 10am, before the senior game theory seminar. Participants who want to be speakers are most welcome and should contact the organizers.
The next issue is on March 23 at 10am at the IHP (room 201).
Cherif Yaker will present the work Pairwise stable networks as Nash equilibria.
Abstract: In this paper, we characterize the well-known concept of pairwise stability of Jackson-Wolinsky within network theory as a Nash equilibrium of a simple strategic game. This characterization not only provides a non-cooperative foundation for pairwise stability, but also allows the recovery of several existing results in the literature. More broadly, it establishes a novel bridge between game theory and network theory, paving the way for multiple applications. We discuss some of these implications, including a new notion of stability in networks.
