The Networked Common Goods Game

Abstract. We introduce a new class of games called the networked common goods game (NCGG), which generalizes the well-known common goods game [12]. We focus on a fairly general subclass of the game where each agent's utility functions are the same across all goods the agent is entitled to and satisfy certain natural properties (diminishing return and smoothness). We give a comprehensive set of technical results listed as follows.
