Why do you hate me? On the survival of spite
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spite involves harming others without good reasons. It may survive in small populations or on markets with strategic substitutes. We consider situations where selfishness helps efficiency. Here spite endangers efficiency, but is wiped out by evolutionary forces. 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
