Coevolution of cooperation, preferences, and cooperative signals in social dilemmas

Müller, Stephan; Wangenheim, Georg von - 2016

We study the coevolution of cooperation, preferences and cooperative signals in an environment where individuals engage in a signaling-extended prisoner's dilemma. We identify a new type of evolutionary equilibrium - a transitional equilibrium - which is constituted and stabilized by the dynamic...

The effect of kinship on intergenerational cooperation : a lab experiment with three generations

Molina, José Alberto; Ferrer, Alfredo; Gimenez-Nadal, … - 2016

In this paper, we analyze how kinship among family members affects intergenerational cooperation in a public good game. 165 individuals from 55 families, comprising three generations (youths, parents, and grandparents), play a public good game in three different treatments: one in which three...

Coevolution of cooperation, preferences, and cooperative signals in social dilemmas

Müller, Stephan; Wangenheim, Georg von - 2019 - Revised version June 2019

We study the coevolution of cooperation, preferences, and cooperative signals in an environment where individuals engage in a signaling-extended prisoner's dilemma. We prove the existence of a cooperative equilibrium constituted by a (set of) limit cycle(s) and stabilized by the dynamic...

Gains from switching and evolutionary stability in multi-player matrix games

Peña, Jorge; Lehmann, Laurent; Nöldeke, Georg - 2013

In this paper we unify, simplify, and extend previous work on the evolutionary dynamics of symmetric N-player matrix games with two pure strategies. In such games, gains from switching strategies depend, in general, on how many other individuals in the group play a given strategy. As a...

Evolution of cooperation in social dilemmas with assortative interactions

Iyer, Swami; Killingback, Timothy - In: Games 11 (2020) 4/41, pp. 1-31

Cooperation in social dilemmas plays a pivotal role in the formation of systems at all levels of complexity, from replicating molecules to multi-cellular organisms to human and animal societies. In spite of its ubiquity, the origin and stability of cooperation pose an evolutionary conundrum,...

Dynamic voluntary contribution to a public good : learning to be a free rider

Clemens, Christiane; Riechmann, Thomas - 2001

This paper explores the question whether boundedly rational agents learn to behave optimally when asked to voluntarily contribute to a public good. The decision process of individuals is described by an Evolutionary Algorithm. We analyze the learning process of purely and impurely altruistic...

Contests over public goods : evolutionary stability and the free-rider problem

Leininger, Wolfgang - 2002

We analyze group contests for public goods by applying the solution concept of an evolutionary stable strategy (ESS …). We show that a global ESS cannot exist, because a mutant free-rider can always invade group behavior successfully. There … does exist, however, a unique local ESS, which we identify with evolutionary equilibrium. It coincides with Nash …
