Separating the Hawks from the Doves âˆ—

Human players in our laboratory experiment converge closely to the symmetric mixed Nash equilibrium when matched in a single population version of the standard Hawk-Dove game. When matched across two populations, the same players show clear movement towards an asymmetric (and very inequitable) pure Nash equilibrium of the same game. These ï¬ndings support a distinctive prediction of evolutionary game theory.
