Reciprocity in Open Agent Environments
This paper reports work in progress on validating and extending the research of Sen and Dutta on the evolution of cooperative behaviour in open agent environments [16]. We give a description of the problem domain in which this work was conducted and delineate its merits as a framework for investigating cooperative behaviour. We propose an environment for generalising and extending Sen and Dutta...
متن کاملSubjective performance evaluations and reciprocity in principal-agent relations
We conduct a laboratory experiment with agents working on and principals benefiting from a real effort task in which the agents’ performance can only be evaluated subjectively. Principals give subjective performance feedback to agents and agents have an opportunity to sanction principals. In contrast to existing models of reciprocity we find that agents tend to sanction whenever the feedback of...
متن کاملReciprocity in the workplace
Using combined experimental and survey data, this paper provides empirical evidence that firm productivity is related to worker’s pro-social behavior in the workplace. At the firm level, we find a strong positive relationship between firm productivity and reciprocating behavior among workers. Investigating workers’ individual behavior we find a similar, strong relationship when regressing earni...
متن کاملReciprocity, Materialism and Welfare: An Evolutionary Model
This paper analyses preference evolution in a bargaining situation. We show that preferences for reciprocity, that sustain a conflict-free outcome, are viable if players have enough information about opponents’ preferences. However, depending on the initial starting point, preference evolution can in general both enhance or reduce subjective and material welfare, relative to the situation where...
متن کاملA tractable model of reciprocity and fairness
We introduce a parametric model of other-regarding preferences. The income distribution, other status considerations, and the kindness or unkindness of others’ choices (“intentions”) systematically affect a person’s emotional state. The emotional state then determines the marginal rate of substitution between own and others’ payoffs, and thus the person’s subsequent choices. Model applications ...
