Abstract
⺠We investigate the Nash equilibria of game theoretic models of network formation based on explicit consent in link formation. ⺠These “consent models” explicitly take account of link formation costs. ⺠We provide characterizations of Nash equilibria of such consent models under both one-sided and two-sided costs of link formation. ⺠We relate these equilibrium concepts to link-based stability concepts like strong link deletion proofness.
