An Application of Evolutionary Game Theory to Social Dilemmas: The Traveler's Dilemma and the Minimum Effort Coordination Game
The Traveler's Dilemma game and the Minimum Effort Coordination game are two social dilemmas that have attracted considerable attention due to the fact that the predictions of classical game theory are at odds with the results found when the games are studied experimentally. Moreover, a direct application of deterministic evolutionary game theory, as embodied in the replicator dynamics, to thes...
متن کاملComparative Statics of the Minimum-Effort Coordination Game
We focus on the effects of changing costs of effort in the minimum-effort coordination game. We find three main results. First, as the cost of effort increases, the level of effort decreases. Second, as the cost of effort increases, the convergence speed to an equilibrium also increases. Third, the overall efficiency (average payoff) does not monotonically decrease as the cost of effort increas...
متن کاملSocial Preferences in the Prisoner’s Dilemma Game: An Evolutionary Analysis
The conventional assumption in economics, that individuals have ’materialistic’ preferences, has been questioned by experimental evidence. In this paper we allow players to have various kinds of ’social’ preferences and explore, in an evolutionary model, how well these players perform in the one-shot Prisoner’s Dilemma. We show that if players have enough information about other players’ prefer...
متن کاملTeam versus individual behavior in the minimum effort coordination game
We compare coordination success of individuals and teams in the minimum effort coordination game. The game is played by groups of either five individuals or five two-person teams with either fixed or random re-matching protocols. When groups are fixed, teams perform at least as well as individuals, if not better, in terms of coordinating to the payoff dominant outcome. But with random re-matchi...
متن کاملApplication of Evolutionary Game theory to Social Networks: A Survey
Evolutionary game theory has been expanded to many other areas than mere biological concept of evolution. Moreover, social networks determine definite interactions between individuals in social settings. The common nature of these two vast areas, has raised interest in applying evolutionary-game-theoretical approaches to social-networkbased problems. This survey paper attempts to explore and ro...
