Evolutionary game theory: A renaissance

J Newton - Games, 2018 - mdpi.com
Economic agents are not always rational or farsighted and can make decisions according to
simple behavioral rules that vary according to situation and can be studied using the tools of …

The dynamics of injunctive social norms

S Gavrilets - Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2020 - cambridge.org
Injunctive social norms are behaviours that one is expected to follow and expects others to
follow in a given social situation; they are maintained by the threat of disapproval or …

[HTML][HTML] Statistical inference in evolutionary dynamics

R Sawa, J Wu - Games and economic behavior, 2023 - Elsevier
We introduce evolutionary dynamics for two-action games where agents with diverse
preferences use statistical inference to guide their behavior. We show that the dynamic …

What noise matters? Experimental evidence for stochastic deviations in social norms

E Bilancini, L Boncinelli, HH Nax - Journal of Behavioral and Experimental …, 2021 - Elsevier
Social norms interventions are increasingly used in applied policy-making such as to end
female genital mutilation or open defecation. Amongst the reasons for why policy-makers …

Robustness of learning in games with heterogeneous players

AS Akbar, H Jaleel, W Abbas… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider stochastic learning dynamics in games and present a novel notion of
robustness to heterogeneous players for a stochastically stable action profile. A standard …

Tiebout sorting in online communities

J Lynham, PR Neary - The Annals of Regional Science, 2024 - Springer
This paper proposes a stylized, dynamic model to address the issue of sorting online. There
are two large homogeneous groups of individuals. Everyone must choose between two …

Complexity Dichotomies for the Maximum Weighted Digraph Partition Problem

We introduce and study a new optimization problem on digraphs, termed Maximum
Weighted Digraph Partition (MWDP) problem. We prove three complexity dichotomies for …

Complexity of Efficient Outcomes in Binary-Action Polymatrix Games with Implications for Coordination Problems

A Deligkas, E Eiben, G Gutin, PR Neary… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We investigate the difficulty of finding economically efficient solutions to coordination
problems on graphs. Our work focuses on two forms of coordination problem: pure …

Cost heterogeneity and the persistence of bilingualism

M Naono - Games and Economic Behavior, 2022 - Elsevier
The bilingual game is a simple variant of a coordination game in which players can choose
between two alternative languages, but also have the option of a bilingual strategy, which …
