We propose a new notion of farsighted pairwise stability for dynamic network formation which includes two notable features: consideration of intermediate payoffs and cautiousness. This differs from existing concepts which typically consider either only immediate or final payoffs, and which often require that players are optimistic in any environment without full communication and commitment. For arbitrary (and possibly heterogeneous) preferences over the process of network formation, a non-empty cautious path stable set of networks always exists. Furthermore, some general relationships exist between cautious path stability and other farsighted concepts.

具有回报流的网络形成游戏中谨慎的远见稳定

我们为动态网络的形成提出了一种具有远见的成对稳定性的新概念，它包括两个显着特征：考虑中间收益和谨慎性。这与通常只考虑即期或最终收益的现有概念不同，现有概念通常要求参与者在任何环境中保持乐观，而没有充分的沟通和投入。对于网络形成过程中的任意（可能是异构）偏好，总是存在非空谨慎路径稳定的网络集。此外，谨慎的路径稳定性与其他远见卓识之间存在一些一般关系。
