Homo Moralis—preference Evolution under Incomplete Information and Assortative Matching
What preferences will prevail in a society of rational individuals when preference evolution is driven by the resulting payo s?

However, in the case of matching on the information network, different applicants are differently informed...
متن کاملThe evolution of fairness under an assortative matching rule inthe
This paper studies how amatching rule affects the evolution of fairness in the ultimatumgame. Gale et al. [1995] show that under the randommatching rule, a partially fair imperfect Nash equilibrium in which all proposers are fair but some responders are selfish is asymptotically stable in the limit as noise in learning vanishes if responders are noisier than proposers. This paper shows that, un...
