Should law keep pace with society? : relative update rates determine the co-evolution of institutional punishment and citizen contributions to public goods

Roithmayr, Daria; Isakov, Alexander; Rand, David - In: Games 6 (2015) 2, pp. 124-149

Until recently, theorists considering the evolution of human cooperation have paid little attention to institutional punishment, a defining feature of large-scale human societies. Compared to individually-administered punishment, institutional punishment offers a unique potential advantage: the...

Should Law Keep Pace with Society? Relative Update Rates Determine the Co-Evolution of Institutional Punishment and Citizen Contributions to Public Goods

Roithmayr, Daria; Isakov, Alexander; Rand, David G. - 2016

Until recently, theorists considering the evolution of human cooperation have paid little attention to institutional punishment, a defining feature of large-scale human societies. Compared to individually administered punishment, institutional punishment offers a unique potential advantage: the...

Auctioning Public Goods to Groups of Agents

Alboth, Dirk; Lerner, Anat; Shalev, Jonathan - 1998

A profit-maximizing auctioneer can provide a public good to at most one of a number of groups of agents. The groups may have non-empty intersections. Each group member has a private value for the good being provided to each group, which is not commonly known. We investigate an auction mechanism...

A Game Theoretic Approach to Linear Systems with L2-Bounded Disturbances

Broek, W. A. van den; Engwerda, Jacob Christiaan; … - 2000

The aim of the present study is to construct a state feedback controller for a given linear system that minimizes the worst-case effect of an L 2 -bounded disturbance. Our setting is different from the usual framework of H1-theory in that we consider nonzero initial conditions. The situation is...

Quantitative Modeling of Trust and Trust Management Protocols in Next-Generation Social Networks-Based Wireless Mobile AD HOC Networks

Malhotra, Yogesh - 2017

Trust and trust management represent the very foundations of Computer and Network Security Protocols enabling all cyber activities. The recent spate of national and global high-impact cyber security compromises threats, vulnerabilities and exposures leads to fundamental questioning of trust as...

The Evolution of Lying in Well-Mixed Populations

Capraro, Valerio; Perc, Matjaz; Vilone, Daniele - 2019

Lies can have profoundly negative consequences for individuals, groups, and even for societies. Understanding how lying evolves and when it proliferates is therefore of significant importance for our personal and societal well-being. To that effect, we here study the sender-receiver game in...

The Emergence of Hyper-Altruistic Behaviour in Conflictual Situations

Capraro, Valerio - 2015

Situations where people have to decide between hurting themselves or another person are at the core of many individual and global conflicts. Yet little is known about how people behave when facing these situations in the lab. Here we report a large (N=2.379) experiment in which participants...

The Structure of the Lattices of Pure Strategy Nash Equilibria of Binary Games of Strategic Complements

Rodríguez Barraquer, Tomás - 2013

show that in fact this class of games expresses all such lattices. In particular we prove that any lattice under set … strategic complements with no indifference. This fact then suggests an interesting way of studying some subclasses of games of … express. In the second part of the paper we study subclasses of binary games of strategic complements with no indifference …

A risk based approach to the principal-agent problem

Djehiche, Boualem; Helgesson, Peter - In: Asian journal of economics and banking : AJEB 8 (2024) 3, pp. 310-334

Purpose: We aim to generalize the continuous-time principal-agent problem to incorporate time-inconsistent utility functions, such as those of mean-variance type, which are prevalent in risk management and finance. Design/methodology/approach: We use recent advancements of the Pontryagin maximum...
