Title: When small groups of players are effective ...
Abstract: When almost all gains to collective economic (or, more generally, social) activities can be realized by cooperation only within relatively small groups of players and groups form whenever it is to the advantage of their memberships to do so, then there are outcomes of collective activities that are stable and efficient. Such outcomes can be characterized as outcomes of optimizing, price-taking individualistic behavior. This presentation is based primarily on three papers; the first, Wooders (1994), is relatively simple while the other two more recent papers are more complex.
