When One Decides for Many: the Effect of Delegation Methods on Cooperation in Simulated Inter-Group Conflicts

Suleiman, Ramzi; Fischer, Ilan - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 3 (2000) 4, pp. 1-1

The study explores the evolution of decision strategies and the emergence of cooperation in simulated societies. In the context of an inter-group conflict, we simulate three different institutions for the aggregation of attitudes. We assume that: (a) the conflict can be modeled as an iterated...

The Integration of Defectors in a Cooperative Setting

Bissey, Marie-Edith; Ortona, Guido - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 5 (2002) 2, pp. 2-2

This paper describes a study of the robustness of cooperative conventions. We observe the effect of the invasion of non-cooperating subjects into a community adopting a cooperative convention. The convention is described by an indefinitely repeated prisoner-dilemma game. We check the effects on...

Lying, Integrity, and Cooperation

Minkler, Lanse; Miceli, Thomas - In: Review of Social Economy 62 (2004) 1, pp. 27-50

While talk is cheap to some, it is expensive to others for whom moral considerations come into play. We employ a simple two-stage modified prisoner's dilemma game where integrity is endowed on a continuum to analyze when agents will lie in random economic interactions. If there is sufficient...

Vega-Redondo, Fernando - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2003

This paper models the dynamic process through which a large society may succeed in building up its “social capital” by establishing a stable and dense pattern of interaction among its members. In the model, agents interact according to a collection of infinitely repeated Prisoner’s...

Prisoners' Other Dilemma

Spagnolo, Giancarlo; Blonski, Matthias - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 2001

We find that contrary to common perception, cooperation as equilibrium of the infinitely repeated discounted prisoner's dilemma is in many relevant cases not very plausible, or at least questionable: for a significant subset of the payoff-discount factor parameter space cooperation equilibria...
