The textbook continues its in-depth look at cooperation in teams, agent-based simulations, experimental economics, the evolution and diffusion of preferences, and the connection between biology and economics. Herbert Gintis exposes students to the techniques and applications of game theory through a wealth of sophisticated and surprisingly fun-to-solve problems involving human and animal behavior. The game concludes as soon as a player takes the stash, with that player getting the larger portion and the other player getting the smaller portion. In a deadlock, if Player A and Player B both cooperate, they each get a payoff of 1, and if they both defect, they each get a payoff of 2. Following the impact of decision making as a result of social processes with eye tracking shows how even our non-conscious behavior can be significantly altered, suggesting a way to predict future actions.

Finally, a game is said to be finite when each player has a finite number of options, the number of players is finite, and the game cannot go on indefinitely.

  • Preferences Under Pressure
    Eric Skoog Preferences Under Pressure Conflict, Threat Cues and Willingness to Compromise Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Zootissalen, EBC, Villavägen 9, Uppsala, Friday, 13 March 2020 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Associate Professor Thomas Zeitzoff (American University, School of Public Affairs). Abstract Skoog, E. 2020. Preferences Under Pressure. Conflict, Threat Cues and Willingness to Compromise. Report / Department of Peace and Conflict Research 121. 66 pp. Uppsala: Department of Peace and Conflict Research. ISBN 978-91-506-2805-0. Understanding how preferences are formed is a key question in the social sciences. The ability of agents to interact with each other is a prerequisite for well-functioning societies. Nevertheless, the process whereby the preferences of agents in conflict are formed have often been black boxed, and the literature on the effects of armed conflict on individuals reveals a great variation in terms of outcomes. Sometimes, individuals are willing to cooperate and interact even with former enemies, while sometimes, we see outright refusal to cooperate or interact at all. In this dissertation, I look at the role of threat in driving some of these divergent results. Armed conflict is rife with physical threats to life, limb and property, and there has been much research pointing to the impact of threat on preferences, attitudes and behavior. Research in the field of evolutionary psychology has revealed that threat is not a singular category, but a nuanced phenomenon, where different types of threat may lead to different responses.

Much of that complexity and diversity arises from culturally transmitted ideas, values and skills that underpin the operation of social norms and institutions that structure our social life. Considerable theoretical and empirical work has been devoted to the role of cultural evolutionary processes in the evolution of social norms and institutions. The most persistent controversy has been over the role of cultural group selection and gene- culture coevolution in early human populations during Pleistocene. We argue that cultural group selection and related cultural evolutionary processes had an important role in shaping the innate components of our social psychology. By the Upper Paleolithic humans seem to have lived in societies structured by institutions, as do modern populations living in small-scale societies. The most ambitious attempts to test these ideas have been the use of experimental games in field settings to document human similarities and differences on theoretically interesting dimensions. These studies have documented a huge range of behavior across populations, although no societies so far examined follow the expectations of selfish rationality.

  • Social Capital and Community Governance Samuel Bowles And
    Social Capital and Community Governance∗ Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis University of Massachusetts and Santa Fe Institute Amherst, Massachusetts, 01003 November 21, 2001 Abstract Social capital generally refers to trust, concern for ones associates, a will- ingness to live by the norms of one’s community and to punish those who do not. While essential to good governance, these behaviors and disposi- tions appear to conflict with the fundamental behavioral assumptions of eco- nomics whose archetypal individual—Homo economicus—is entirely self- regarding. By community governance we mean the structure of small group social interactions—distinct from markets and states—that, along with these more familiar forms of governance, jointly determine economic and social out- comes. We suggest that (i) community governance addresses some common market and state failures but typically relies on insider-outsider distinctions that may be morally repugnant; (ii) the individual motivations supporting com- munity governance are not captured by either the conventional self-interested preferences of Homo economicus or by unconditional altruism towards one’s fellow community members; (iii) well-designed institutions make commu- nities, markets and states complements, not substitutes; (iv) with poorly de- signed institutions, markets and states can crowd out community governance; (v) some distributions of property rights are better than others at fostering community governance and assuring complementarity among communities, states and markets; and (vi) far from representing holdovers from a premod- ern era, the small scale local interactions that characterize communities are likely to increase in importance as the economic problems that community governance handles relatively well become more important. ∗ For a symposium to appear in the Economic Journal, along with companion papers by Steven Durlauf, Ernst Fehr, Edward Glaeser, David Laibson, and Bruce Sacerdote.

  • Social Welfare and the Psychology of Food Sharing: Short-Term Hunger Increases Support for Social Welfare
    January 2013 Social Welfare and the Psychology of Food Sharing: Short-Term Hunger Increases Support for Social Welfare Michael Bang Petersen1*, Lene Aarøe1, Niels Holm Jensen2, and Oliver Curry3 1Department of Political Science & Government, Aarhus University, Aarhus, DK-8000 2Department of Psychology & Behavioral Sciences Aarhus University, Aarhus, DK-8000 3Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX2 6PN * Corresponding author: Email: [email protected] Accepted for publication in Political Psychology Abstract Do politically irrelevant events influence important policy opinions? Previous research on social welfare attitudes has emphasized the role of political factors such as economic self-interest and ideology. Here, we demonstrate that attitudes to social welfare are also influenced by short-term fluctuations in hunger. Using theories in evolutionary psychology, we predict that hungry individuals will be greedier and take more resources from others while also attempting to induce others to share by signaling cooperative intentions and expressing support for sharing, including evolutionarily novel forms of sharing such as social welfare. We test these predictions using self-reported hunger data as well as comparisons of subjects who participated in relevant online studies before and after eating lunch. Across four studies collected in two different welfare regimes—the UK and Denmark—we consistently find that hungry individuals act in a greedier manner but describe themselves as more cooperative and express greater support for social welfare. 1 Public opinion is the foundation of representative democracy—it drives electoral behavior and forms the basis for government formation. Politicians react to and anticipate changes in public opinion and it has an impact on policy, even between elections.

Ernst Mayr, Populations, Species and Evolution, 1970 Abstract This paper develops inclusive fitness theory with the aim of clarifying its appropriate place in sociobiological theory and specifying the associated principles that render it powerful. The paper introduces one new concept, that of the core genome.

    Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics, Volume 11, Issue 1, Spring 2018, pp. 117-124. https://doi.org/10.23941/ejpe.v11i1.359 Review of Herbert Gintis’s Individuality and Entanglement: The Moral and Material Bases of Social Life. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2017, 357 pp. MICHIRU NAGATSU University of Helsinki In his own words, Herbert Gintis’s latest book is “an analysis of human nature and a tribute to its wonders” (3).1 More prosaically, it is a collection of essays, some of which are original and others published elsewhere. Instead of being structured around topics in decision and game theory, like his previous book (2009), this book develops interrelated themes, such as the evolutionary origins of moral sense, its central role in political games, and the socially entangled nature of human rationality and individuality. Some chapters develop Gintis’s vision of the unified behavioral sciences by model-building demonstrations; others do so by reflecting on history and methodology. The demonstrative part of the book models the evolution of human socio-political systems, power relations in markets, altruism, voter turnout, and Walrasian dynamics—drawing on decision theory, game theory, evolutionary theory, and complexity theory. This part offers readers familiar with formal apparatus an excellent overview of the Gintis’s recent contributions to the field. The reflective part discusses the nature of rational actor models, provides an intellectual history of sociology and economics, and advocates the unification of the behavioral sciences. This part gives readers interested in history and philosophy of the behavioral sciences an insightful first-hand account by one of the leading figures in the field.

  • Homo Socialis: an Analytical Core for Sociological Theory Herbert Gintis
    Homo Socialis: An Analytical Core for Sociological Theory Herbert Gintis and Dirk Helbing October 9, 2013 Social life comes from a double source, the likeness of consciences and the division of social labor. Emile Durkheim We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Martin Luther King How ever selfish man may be supposed, there are evidently some princi- ples in his nature, which interest him in the fortuneof others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it. Adam Smith Abstract We develop an analytical core for sociology. We follow standard dynam- ical systems theory by first specifying the conditions for social equilibrium, and then study the dynamical principles that govern disequilibrium behavior. Our general social equilibrium model is an expansion of the general equi- librium model of economic theory, and our dynamical principles treat the society as a complex adaptive dynamical system that can be studied using evolutionary game theory and agent-based Markov models based on variants of the replicator dynamic. Affiliations: Gintis (Santa Fe Institute), Helbing (ETH Z¨urich). We would like to thank Samuel Bowles and Barkley Rosser for insightful suggestions. 1 1 Introduction Modern societies are complex dynamical systems in which social institutions are modified through high-level political decision-making and popular collective ac- tion (Helbing et al. 2005). We offer here an analytical framework for modeling the structure and dynamics of modern societies. We follow standard dynamical systems theory by first specifying the conditions for social equilibrium, and then studying the dynamical principles that govern disequilibrium behavior.

  • SAMUEL BOWLES, (Phd, Economics, Harvard University) Is Research Professor at the Santa Fe Institute Where He Heads the Behavioral Sciences Program
    SAMUEL BOWLES, (PhD, Economics, Harvard University) is Research Professor at the Santa Fe Institute where he heads the Behavioral Sciences Program. He taught economics at Harvard from 1965 to 1973 and since then at the University of Massachusetts, where he is now emeritus professor and at the University of Siena from 2002 to 2010 where he continues to occasionally teach. Bowles' current research also includes theoretical and empirical studies of political hierarchy and wealth inequality and their evolution over the very long run. His studies on cultural and genetic evolution have challenged the conventional economic assumption that people are motivated entirely by self-interest. Recent papers have also explored how organizations, communities and nations could be better governed in light of the fact that altruistic and ethical motives are common in most populations. His scholarly papers have appeared in Science, Nature, New Scientist, American Economic Review, Theoretical Population Biology, Games and Economic Behavior, Journal of Theoretical Biology, Journal of Political Economy, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Behavioral and Brain Science, Philosophy and Public Affairs, Journal of Public Economics, Theoretical Primatology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), Harvard Business Review, Journal of Economic Literature, Journal of Economic Perspectives, Current Anthropology, and the Economic Journal. His most recent book is The Moral Economy: Why good laws are no substitute for good citizens (Yale University Press, 2016). Other recent books include A Cooperative Species: Human reciprocity and its evolution (with Herbert Gintis, Princeton University Press, 2011), The new economics of inequality and redistribution, (Cambridge University Press, 2012), and Microeconomics: Behavior, Institutions and Evolution (Princeton University Press, 2004).
