Here we consider a game where agents are endowed with heterogeneous local information regarding the graph structure. For example, some might see the identity of their direct neighbors, whereas some might see their neighbors’ neighbors.
Our paper explores how agents play games when they do not know the entire network. We characterize the BNE of this incomplete information game & explore implications of differential local network information. https://t.co/QKD0ijGEyX

Lovely rendering of Tagore’s song with allusion to Radha & Krishna. This was one of Vivekananda’s favorite songs. Sung beautifully by Bangladesh’s Rejoyana Choudhury, it’s a tribute to the kind of syncretic culture the world needs. https://t.co/fxXcYQmdXL via @YouTube

An experiment on RUMORS in NETWORKS. We find even for messages with no emotional or political content (Heads or Tail), people like to: 1. Overshare 2. Care about who they are sharing with. People are good at using the network as filter. https://t.co/3K8uyQRuIq
