The agents are localized on a circle and the costs of direct communication increase with distance. After having studied pairwise stability and efficiency, we introduce a stochastic process of network formation with preferential meeting. We show how the structure of stochastically stable networks is affected by the degree of knowledge transferability. We find that, for a large region of this parameter value, the process selects small world-like networks which exhibit high local density and distant connections.}, date-added = {2007-06-11 17:22:07 +0200}, date-modified = {2007-06-11 17:48:37 +0200}, local-url = {file://localhost/Users/bertilhatt/Documents/Papers/Carayol/2003/Carayol%202003-4.pdf}, rating = {0}, uri = {papers://C3B117CD-23C4-4854-9426-AC96AFB113DA/Paper/p98}, keywords = {Formation Innovation Knowledge Meeting Network Preferential Small World and } }
