An experiment on cooperation in a CPR game with a disapproval option

Yao, Koffi Serge William - In: Games 12 (2021) 4, pp. 1-14

This paper studies the standard version of the approval mechanism with two players in a common pool resource (CPR) extraction game. In the case of disapproval, the Nash extraction level is implemented. The paper investigates, experimentally, the extent to which the Nash threat leads to...

The emotional moves of a rational actor : smiles, scowls, and other credible messages

Reed, Lawrence Ian; DeScioli, Peter - In: Games 8 (2017) 2, pp. 1-11

Many scholars turn to emotions to understand irrational behavior. We do the opposite: we turn to rationality and game theory to understand people’s emotions. We discuss a striking theory of emotions that began with the game theory of credible threats and promises, then was enriched by...

Evolutionary game theory: A renaissance

Newton, Jonathan - In: Games 9 (2018) 2, pp. 1-67

Economic agents are not always rational or farsighted and can make decisions according to simple behavioral rules that vary according to situation and can be studied using the tools of evolutionary game theory. Furthermore, such behavioral rules are themselves subject to evolutionary forces....

Competing conventions with costly information acquisition

Rozzi, Roberto - In: Games 12 (2021) 3, pp. 1-29

We consider an evolutionary model of social coordination in a 2 × 2 game where two groups of players prefer to coordinate on different actions. Players can pay a cost to learn their opponent's group: if they pay it, they can condition their actions concerning the groups. We assess the stability...

An evolutionary theory of suicide

Szentes, Balázs; Thomas, Caroline D. - In: Games 4 (2013) 3, pp. 426-436

We analyze a model in which individuals have hereditary reproductive types. The reproductive value of an individual is determined by her reproductive type and the amount of resources she can access. We introduce the possibility of suicide and assume it is also a genetic trait that interacts with...
