The first version of this chapter was written in 2002 while I was in graduate school at Princeton University and first learned about the network formation literature. I thank José Scheinkman for stimulating my curiosity on the topic and Christian Julliard, Gabor Virag, and Wei Xiong for invaluable comments on an earlier version of this chapter.
