Introducing Social Norms in Game Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explicitly introduces norms in games, assuming that they shape (some) players’ utility and beliefs. People feel badly when they deviate from a binding norm, and the less other players deviate, the more badly they feel. Further, people anger at transgressors and get pleasure from punishing them. I then study how social norms and emotions affect cooperation, coordination, and punishment in a variety of games. The model is consistent with abundant experimental evidence that alternative models of social preferences cannot explain.

Multi-objective Modeling Based on Competition Airlines Cooperation by Game Theory and Sustainable Development Approach
In each time period, the demand of passengers for each route are finite and airlines compete for earning more profits. The complex competition among airlines causes problems, such as complicating flight planning and increasing empty seats for some routes. These problems increase air pollution and fuel consumption. To solve these problems, this research studies the cooperation of the airlines wi...
متن کاملNorms in Game Theory
This chapter summarizes two main views on norms and games as emerging in literature on game theory, social science, philosophy and artificial intelligence. The first view originates in the field of mechanism design or implementation theory and characterizes norms as mechanisms enforcing desirable social properties in classes of games. According to the second view, originating from work in the s...
متن کاملSocial Norms of Cooperation in Multiagent Systems (Doctoral Consortium)
Explaining cooperation between individuals is a fundamental scientific endeavour. Similarly, devising mechanisms that encourage autonomous agents to cooperate with each other is a central topic in multiagent systems. Indirect reciprocity (IR) emerged as the most elaborated mechanism of cooperation discovered, involving the moral assessment of actions, the spreading of reputations and agents tha...
متن کاملUsing Game Theory to Study the Evolution of Cultural Norms
We discuss how to use evolutionary game theory (EGT) as a framework for studying how cultural dynamics and structural properties can influence the evolution of norms and behaviors within a society. We provide a brief tutorial on how EGT works, and discuss what kinds of insights it can provide. We then describe three published studies in which we have developed EGT models that help explain how s...
متن کاملRandom Boolean Networks and Evolutionary Game Theory
Recent years have seen increased interest in the question of whether it is possible to provide an evolutionary game theoretic explanation for certain kinds of social norms. I sketch a proof of a general representation theorem for a large class of evolutionary game theoretic models played on a social network, in hope that this will contribute to a greater understanding of the long-term evolution...
