Spatial Evolution of Social Norms in a Common-Pool Resource Game
Noailly, Joëlle; Withagen, Cees A.; van den Bergh, … - 2005
We study the conditions for the emergence of cooperation in a spatial common-pool resource game. We consider three types of agents: cooperators, defectors and enforcers. The role of enforcers is to punish defectors for overharvesting the resource. Agents are located around a circle and they only...

Special Interests and Technological Change
Bellettini, Giorgio; Ottaviano, Gianmarco I.P. - 2003
We study an OLG economy where productivity growth comes from two alternative sources: process innovation and learning-by-doing. There is a trade-off between the two in so far as frequent technological updates reduce the scope for learning on existing technologies. A conflict is shown to arise...
