Collective Contests for Commons and Club Goods
This paper focuses on collective contests for commons and club goods. Our main objective is to examine in this context the effect of group size on its performance. The main results specify conditions for the existence (non-existence) of the group-size paradox, namely, the situation where a larger group is less (more) effective in pursuing its interest because of (despite) the combined effect of...
متن کاملComposite collective decision-making.
Individual animals are adept at making decisions and have cognitive abilities, such as memory, which allow them to hone their decisions. Social animals can also share information. This allows social animals to make adaptive group-level decisions. Both individual and collective decision-making systems also have drawbacks and limitations, and while both are well studied, the interaction between t...
متن کاملCollective-Intelligence and Decision-Making
Decision-making, while performed by humans, is also expected to be found in most (artificial) intelligent systems. Usually, the cognitive research assumption is that the individual is the correct unit for the analysis of (human) intelligence. Yet, the multi-agent assumption is that of a society of interacting individuals (agency) that collectively supersedes individual capabilities. Therefore, ...
متن کاملChapter 10 POLYNOMIAL TIME MECHANISMS FOR COLLECTIVE DECISION MAKING
We investigate the problem of designing mechanisms to control collective decisions made by self-interested autonomous agents. In particular, we examine how results in the economics literature on mechanism design apply to collective decisions involving NP-hard optimization problems. We formalize the idea of polynomial time mechanism design and investigate mechanism design for a multiagent versio...
متن کاملCollective decision-making in microbes
Microbes are intensely social organisms that routinely cooperate and coordinate their activities to express elaborate population level phenotypes. Such coordination requires a process of collective decision-making, in which individuals detect and collate information not only from their physical environment, but also from their social environment, in order to arrive at an appropriately calibrate...
