Extortion subdues human players but is finally punished in the prisoner’s dilemma
Extortion is the practice of obtaining advantages through explicit forces and threats. Recently, it was demonstrated that even the repeated prisoner's dilemma, one of the key models to explain mutual cooperation, allows for implicit forms of extortion. According to the theory, extortioners demand and receive an excessive share of any surplus, which allows them to outperform any adapting co-play...
متن کاملExtortion and cooperation in the Prisoner's Dilemma.
S elf-serving, rational agents sometimes cooperate to their mutual benefit. However, when and why cooperation emerges is surprisingly hard to pin down. To address this question, scientists from diverse disciplines have used the Prisoner’s Dilemma, a simple two-player game, as a model problem. In PNAS, Press and Dyson (1) dramatically expand our understanding of this classic game by uncovering s...
متن کاملThe Prisoners' Dilemma Revisited
Cooperation has always been recognised as a fundamental ingredient in the creation of societies and the generation of wealth. As a concept, it has been studied for many years. Yet, in practice, its emergence and persistence are less understood. In the following a game theoretic approach to the study of cooperation based on the Prisoners' Dilemma is reviewed. Using a Genetic Algorithm, strategie...

We ...nd that cooperation as equilibrium of the in...nitely repeated discounted Prisoner’s Dilemma is often not plausible: For a signi...cant subset of the payo¤discount factor parameter space, all co-operation equilibria are strictly risk dominated (in the sense of Harsanyi and Selten, 1988) by defection. We derive an easy-to-calculate critical level for the discount factor ±¤ below which this...
متن کاملFrom extortion to generosity, evolution in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma.
Recent work has revealed a new class of "zero-determinant" (ZD) strategies for iterated, two-player games. ZD strategies allow a player to unilaterally enforce a linear relationship between her score and her opponent's score, and thus to achieve an unusual degree of control over both players' long-term payoffs. Although originally conceived in the context of classical two-player game theory, ZD...
