Distributed punishment as a norm-signalling tool
Recent studies show that punishment plays a crucial role in favoring and maintaining social order. However, very little attention has been paid so far to the potential of distributed punishment. In this work we put forward the hypothesis that distributed punishment is more effective than individual punishment, because is more persuasive in conveying messages of peer condemnation and of shared n...

Indeed, ethnographic evidence suggests that the most typical punishing strategies in human ecologies (e.g., gossip, derision, blame and criticism) naturally ...

Peer punishment has been an effective means to ensure that norms are complied with in a population of self-interested agents.

Such static punishments are difficult to apply because it is difficult to identify an appropriate fixed penalty...
