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 …

More importantly, the signaling mechanism has a heterogeneous effect … decreases cooperation in rule-breaking groups. Finally, the signaling mechanism tends to offset the decline of contributions …
