The Evolution of Roommate Networks: A Comment on Jackson and Watts JET (2002)

No 296, Working Papers from Barcelona School of Economics

Abstract: We extend Jackson and Watts's (2002) result on the coincidence of S-stochastically stable and core stable networks from marriage problems to roommate problems. In particular, we show that the existence of a side-optimal core stable network, on which the proof of Jackson and Watts (2002, Theorem 2) hinges, is not crucial for their result.
