Popis: This paper introduces a new mechanism through which positive externality spills over in a network. We find that the introduction of the new spillover mechanism plays a major role in reducing the set of Nash equilibrium though at the same time it increases the set of stable equilibria in a network game with local positive externality. Furthermore, we show that a denser network do not necessarily give rise to higher welfare.
