Stochastic imitative game dynamics with committed agents
We consider models of stochastic evolution in two-strategy games in which agents employ imitative decision rules. We introduce committed agents: for each strategy, we suppose that there is at least one agent who plays that strategy without fail. We show that unlike the standard imitative model, the model with committed agents generates unambiguous infinite horizon predictions: the asymptotics o...
متن کاملOnline Appendix to “Stochastic Imitative Game Dynamics with Committed Agents”
In this section, we consider stochastic evolution under two well-known imitative protocols: imitation of success and imitation driven by dissatisfaction. 1 Example O.1.1. Imitation of success. Suppose that when an agent receives a revision opportunity , he randomly samples an opponent, switching to the opponent's strategy with probability proportional to the difference between the opponent's pa...
متن کاملStochastic Evolutionary Game Dynamics
Game theory is often described as the study of interactive decision-making by rational agents. However, there are numerous applications of game theory where the agents are not fully rational, yet many of the conclusions remain valid. A case in point is biological competition between species, a topic pioneered by Maynard Smith and Price (1973). In this setting the ‘agents’ are representatives of...
متن کاملStochastic evolutionary game dynamics
1.1 Game theory and evolution Modern game theory goes back to a series of papers by the mathematician John von Neumann in the 1920s. This program started a completely new branch of social sciences and applied mathematics. This early work on game theory is summarized in the seminal book " The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior " by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern [115]. Initially , gam...
متن کاملAn economic game with stochastic dynamics
In this paper we investigate a stochastic model for an economic game. To describe this model we have used a Wiener process, as the noise has a stabilization effect. The dynamics are studied in terms of stochastic stability in the stationary state, by constructing the Lyapunov exponent, depending on the parameters that describe the model. The numerical simulation that we did justifies the theore...
