Coalition and Networks: a beautiful dozen

Posted on

Twenty years. Twelve papers. Eight high-level scientific and academic institutions, whose aim is the advancement and dissemination of research in the area of network and coalition theory. A book which is a tribute to the wide array of useful and interesting applications of the theory of coalitions and networks, partly underutilised by applied economists. In the preface of the volume “Coalitions and Networks. 12 papers from 20 years of CTN workshops”, Carlo Carraro (FEEM, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, and CMCC) celebrates the activities of an association that started in 1995 and, since then, has progressively become a reference point for the study of network and coalition formation and their applications. “Network theory aims to provide a unified framework for analysing the relation between agents’ position in the network and their actions and welfare” – Prof. Carraro explains in his presentation of  this selection of papers, a beautiful dozen that outlines the ideas and the vision at the origin of the network. A collection that highlights the research topics that drove the interest on coalitions first and on networks then.
