Specialization and Cooperation in Research
An optimal decision model is developed to explore the impact of the structure of knowledge on specialization and cooperation in research. It shows that, (1) the degree of specialization in knowledge increases with the depth of knowledge and cooperation efficiency, and decreases with the average number of disciplines that are required for the solution of the problem; (2) the problem which requir...
متن کاملNeural basis of conditional cooperation.
Cooperation among genetically unrelated individuals is a fundamental aspect of society, but it has been a longstanding puzzle in biological and social sciences. Recently, theoretical studies in biology and economics showed that conditional cooperation-cooperating only with those who have exhibited cooperative behavior-can spread over a society. Furthermore, experimental studies in psychology de...
متن کاملTax Morale and Conditional Cooperation
Why so many people pay their taxes, although fines and audit probability are low, has become a central question in the tax compliance literature. A homo economicus, with a more refined motivation structure, helps us to shed light on this puzzle. This paper provides empirical evidence for the relevance of conditional cooperation, using survey data from 30 West and East European countries. We fin...
متن کاملThe evolution of parental cooperation in birds.
Parental care is one of the most variable social behaviors and it is an excellent model system to understand cooperation between unrelated individuals. Three major hypotheses have been proposed to explain the extent of parental cooperation: sexual selection, social environment, and environmental harshness. Using the most comprehensive dataset on parental care that includes 659 bird species from...
متن کاملSecret Santa: Anonymity, Signaling,and Conditional Cooperation
Costly signaling of commitment to a group has been proposed as an explanation for participation in religion and ritual. But if the signal’s cost is too small, freeriders will send the signal and behave selfishly later. Effective signaling may then be prohibitively costly. If the average level of signaling in a group is observable, but individual effort is not, then freeriders can behave selfish...
