Abstract
I survey the literature on network formation in situations where the possible
gains from cooperation of coalitions of agents are modeled by a coalitional game.
I discuss the models that appear in the literature and their predictions on the
networks that will be formed according to various equilibrium concepts, as well
as the eventual payoffs to the players in equilibrium networks.
