Dynamics of individual specialization and global diversification in communities

We discuss a model of an economic community consisting of N interacting agents. The state of each agent at any time is characterized, in general, by a mixed strategy profile drawn from a space of s pure strategies. The community evolves as agents update their strategy profiles in response to payoffs received from other agents. The evolution equation is a generalization of the replicator equation. We argue that when N is sufficiently large and the payoff matrix elements satisfy suitable inequalities, the community evolves to retain the full diversity of available strategies even as individual agents specialize to pure strategies. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Evolution towards the Maximum Clique

As is well known, the problem of finding a maximum clique in a graph isNP-hard. Nevertheless, NP-hard problems may have easy instances. This paperproposes a new, global optimization algorithm which tries to exploit favourabledata constellations, focussing on the continuous problem formulation: maximizea quadratic form over the standard simplex. Some general connections of thelatter problem with dynamic principles of evolutionary game theory areestablished. As an immediate consequence, one obtains a procedure whichconsists (a) of an iterative part similar to interior-path methods based on theso-called replicator dynamics; and (b) a routine to escape from inefficient,locally optimal solutions. For the special case of finding a maximum clique ina graph where the quadratic form arises from a regularization of the adjacencematrix, part (b), i.e. escaping from maximal cliques not of maximal size, isaccomplished with block pivoting methods based on (large) independent sets,i.e. cliques of the complementary graph. A simulation study is included whichindicates that the resulting procedure indeed has some merits.     

The structure of stratified systems and the structure of mobility: A first approximation to a structural theory of vertical mobility

This essay summarizes an inquiry that explores relations between the structure of stratified systems and the processes of vertical mobility. The inquiry considers economic stratification (the distribution of wealth) and is directed to determining whether the structural properties of stratification systems are sufficient to generate basic patterns in vertical mobility observed in empirical research, especially, the rank‐distance effect. In particular, the question is whether these patterns can be generated even if movement is constrained by nothing more than the size of the population over which wealth is distributed and the total amount of wealth to be distributed. Our results show that the rank‐distance effect emerges even under these minimal assumptions and, further, that rates and distances of vertical mobility are closely related to changes in these boundary parameters of a stratified system. The basic theory developed to relate structure and mobility provides results that are highly consistent with many empirical observations. It also challenges existing claims concerning the nature of the mechanisms determining the relative status immobility of most people in large scale systems. The theory implies that the way in which system structure constrains opportunity for movement is, by itself, sufficient to produce this result and others commonly observed.

外卖食品安全问题的演化博弈分析

运用演化博弈论的方法对外卖商家之间,订餐平台监管部门和外卖商家之间相互作用时策略选择行为进行分析.结果表明:当外卖商家生产不合格的外卖收益大于生产合格外卖的收益、订餐平台监督部门对生产不合格外卖的商家处罚力度过轻或对外卖合格性的检测成本过高时,不合格外卖生产必然发生.要确保外卖商家生产合格外卖,就必须对生产不合格外卖的商家进行严惩,降低生产不合格外卖的预期收益.同时,要加强订餐平台建设,降低监管成本,保证监管部门严格执法.

The cultural Red King effect

Why do minority groups tend to be discriminated against when it comes to situations of bargaining and resource division? In this article, I explore an explanation for this disadvantage that appeals solely to the dynamics of social interaction between minority and majority groups—the cultural Red King effect (Bruner, 2017). As I show, in agent-based models of bargaining between groups, the minority group will tend to get less as a direct result of the fact that they frequently interact with majority group members, while majority group members meet them only rarely. This effect is strengthened by certain psychological phenomenon—risk aversion and in-group preference—is robust on network models, and is strengthened in cases where preexisting norms are discriminatory. I will also discuss how this effect unifies previous results on the impacts of institutional memory on bargaining between groups.     

Norms of Cooperation in a Game of Partnership

We study a model of partnership with costly commitment in an evolutionary game-theoretic framework. We introduce various types of cooperative players with different degrees of strategic sophistication. We find that a necessary condition for cooperation at the social equilibrium is that the probability of a high opportunity value falls below a certain critical threshold. Such condition, however, is not sufficient. If players are too naively cooperative, the permanence of cooperation at the equilibrium is put at risk because naive cooperation entails playing inefficient responses to other equilibrium strategies. As a consequence, naive cooperation will be present at the equilibrium selected by the social dynamics only under somewhat special conditions. If cooperators are more flexible, in that they remain in the partnership only if mated to a first stage cooperator and only in lack of favorable outside opportunities, cooperation is almost granted provided that it is Pareto efficient (perverse lock in cases under unfavorable initial conditions are possible). Finally, the selection of Pareto superior cooperation with certainty may be granted by a certain norm-oriented type of strategically sophisticated behavior, that we call Rawlsian altruism.     

师徒制知识共享敌意的演化趋势研究

师徒制知识共享作为组织内知识转移,尤其是隐性知识转移的重要方式,却在组织内更多以知识囤积或知识排斥的知识共享敌意形式存在。基于师徒制知识共享敌意的效用分析,采用复制动态的非对称演化博弈刻画了组织内师徒制知识共享敌意的演化趋势。研究发现,当师傅群成员知识囤积的负效用超过其正效用、且徒弟群成员知识排斥的负效用大于其所付出的成本时,才能通过有效降低师徒制知识共享敌意来提高师徒制知识共享对组织的贡献程度;组织采用一定的激励机制对于降低师徒制知识共享敌意的发生效果显著。

A combinatorial theory of minimal social situations

A minimal social situation is a game‐like situation in which there are two actors, each of them has two possible actions, and both evaluate the outcomes of their joint actions in terms of two categories (say, ‘success’ and ‘failure'). By fixing actors and actions and varying ‘payoffs’ the set of 256 ‘configurations’ is obtained. This set decomposes into 43 ‘structural forms’, or equivalence classes with respect to the relation of isomorphism defined on it. This main theorem and other results concerning related configurations (minimal decision situations) are derived in this paper by means of certain tools of group theory. Some extensions to larger structures are proved in the Appendix. In the introductory section after a brief explanation of the meaning given to the terms ‘structure’ and ‘isomorphism’ in mathematics (Bourbaki) it is shown how these terms can be used to formalize the concept of ‘social form’.     

带有环境反馈的不对称劳动分工博弈模型

带有环境反馈的两策略博弈被广泛研究,本文研究带有环境反馈的三策略博弈模型.环境被分为富裕斑块和贫穷斑块,富裕的斑块可以为玩家提供额外的环境收益,而贫穷斑块不为玩家提供任何收益.首先,建立模仿者动力学模型,推导模型平衡点稳定性的充分条件.该模型平衡点的稳定性取决于各策略的成本、富裕环境的收益、策略C对策略A和策略B的干扰以及策略A和策略B的合作效益.此外,通过对模型进行数值模拟,可以发现与初始期望结果一致,并且得到了在异质环境下各策略的频率.

主体异质性下风险联合投资演化博弈模型研究

在前人相关研究基础上,将主体异质性等更符合实际的影响因素引入到风险联合投资演化博弈模型中,求出了模型的演化稳定策略,并对影响演化稳定策略的相关因素进行了分析,博弈一方的合作策略选择视对方的合作均衡策略而定,但联合投资的合作行为终将演化为一博弈方选择不合作策略而终止.主体的异质性与单位冲突成本收益对促进双方都选择合作策略造成很大影响,异质性程度差异程度越大,单位冲突成本收益越小,联合投资成功的可能性就越大,合作行为也会因双方遵守合约契约而得到长期稳定的维持.     

Mathematical model of evolutionary branching

This work is devoted to the study of an evolutionary system where similar individuals are competing for the same resources. Mathematically it is a Fisher equation with an integral term describing this non-local competition. Due to this competition, an initially monomorphic population may split into two distinct sub-populations, hence exhibiting a branching capacity. This framework can be applied to various contexts where recognizers are competing for some signals. The pattern formation capacity of this model is investigated analytically and numerically.
