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 … behavior, preferences, and signaling. We thereby offer an explanation for persistent regularities observed in laboratory and …

We consider a voluntary contributions game, in which players may punish others after contributions are made and observed. The productivity of contributions, as captured in the marginal-per-capita return, differs among individuals, so that there are two types: high and low productivity. Every two...
