Abstract
A network is a graph where the nodes represent agents and an arc exists between two nodes if the corresponding agents interact bilaterally. An exogeneous value function gives the value of each network, while an allocation rule describes how the value of any graph is distributed amongst the agents. We explore the possibility of constructing allocation rules which will ensure that efficient networks of agents will form when the individual agents decide to form or severe links amongst themselves.
