Spinning Works: Strategy Framing in the One-Shot Prisoner’s Dilemma Game
نویسنده
چکیده
The one-shot prisoner’s dilemma game has a unique dominance-solvable equilibrium. While others have studied framing some aspects of the game under laboratory conditions, the effects of non-neutral strategy labels has received significantly less study. In this experiment, I compare the effects of non-neutral strategy labels to baseline conditions, under both complete and incomplete information conditions. Strategy labels influence how subjects act in a one-shot prisoner’s dilemma environment. While information condition seems to play little role in subject’s decisions, it seems to affect their ex post predictions of others’ behaviour.

Modeling Cooperation between Nodes in Wireless Networks by APD Game
Cooperation is the foundation of many protocols in wireless networks. Without cooperation, the performance of a network significantly decreases. Hence, all nodes in traditional networks are required to cooperate with each other. In this paper, instead of traditional networks, a network of rational and autonomous nodes is considered, which means that each node itself can decide whe...
متن کاملA non-cooperative Pareto-efficient solution to a single-shot Prisoner's Dilemma
The Prisoner’s Dilemma is a simple model that captures the essential contradiction between individual rationality and global rationality. Although the one-shot Prisoner’s Dilemma is usually viewed simple, in this paper we will categorize it into five different types. For the type-4 Prisoner’s Dilemma game, we will propose a selfenforcing algorithmic model to help non-cooperative agents obtain P...

متن کاملFriend or Foe? a Natural Experiment of the Prisoner’s Dilemma
This study examines data drawn from the game show Friend or Foe? which is similar to the classic prisoner’s dilemma tale: partnerships are endogenously determined, and players work together to earn money, after which they play a one-shot prisoner’s dilemma game over large stakes: varying from $200 to (potentially) more than $22,000. The data reveal several interesting insights; perhaps most pro...
متن کاملSocial Preferences in the Prisoner’s Dilemma Game: An Evolutionary Analysis
The conventional assumption in economics, that individuals have ’materialistic’ preferences, has been questioned by experimental evidence. In this paper we allow players to have various kinds of ’social’ preferences and explore, in an evolutionary model, how well these players perform in the one-shot Prisoner’s Dilemma. We show that if players have enough information about other players’ prefer...
