Supplemental Material

Supplement to "Strategic Learning and the Topology of Social Networks"

This appendix gives two examples showing that the assumptions of bounded out-degree and L-connectedness are crucial.  Our approach in constructing equilibria will be to prescribe the initial moves of the agents and then extend this to an equilibrium strategy profile.
