| Description | Journal: SSRN Electronic Journal To better understand trends, this paper models the behavior of decision-makers seeking conformity and influence in a connected population. Link formation is one-sided with information flowing from the target to the link's originator. A premium for leading ensures that a link's target benefits more from the link than its originator, and yet a leader serves the population by coordinating decisions. The desire for conformity drives the population to organize into a single hub with the leader at the center. Certain conditions support multiple leader structures as Nash as well. A strong desire to influence produces an equilibrium with an unlinked subpopulation. |
