We investigate the Nash equilibria of game theoretic models of network formation based on explicit consent in link formation. These so-called %26quot;consent models%26quot; explicitly take account of link formation costs. We provide characterizations of Nash equilibria of such consent models under both one-sided and two-sided costs of link formation. We relate these equilibrium concepts to link-based stability concepts, in particular strong link deletion proofness.
