Violations of Uniform Partner Ranking Condition in Two-way Flow Strict Nash Networks

Abstract

The paper of Charoensook ((2015), [3]) extends the results of the original model of two-way flow information sharing network of Bala and Goyal ((2000),[1]), given that a condition called Uniform Partner Ranking is satisfied. In this technical note, we study what happen to these results when this condition is violated. By providing some examples, we conclude that a certain degree of agent homogeneity needs to exist in order that the results of [3] remains satisfied
