Understanding Reciprocity∗

چکیده
This paper surveys the evolutionary game theoretic literature on reciprocity in human interactions, dealing both with long-term relationships and with sporadic interactions. Four basic themes, repetition, commitment, assortation, and parochialism, appear repeatedly throughout the literature. Repetition can give rise to the evolution of behavior that exhibits reciprocity-like features but a vast array of other behaviors are also stable. In sporadic interactions, reciprocity can be stable if the propensity to punish selfish actions can induce opportunists to cooperate, if reciprocators themselves behave opportunistically when they expect others to do so, or if matching is sufficiently

Variational Principle, Uniqueness and Reciprocity Theorems in Porous Piezothermoelastic with Mass Diffusion
The basic governing equations in anisotropic elastic material under the effect of porous piezothermoelastic are presented. Biot [1], Lord & Shulman [4] and Sherief et al. [5] theories are used to develop the basic equations for porous piezothermoelastic with mass diffusion material. The variational principle, uniqueness theorem and theorem of reciprocity in this model are established under the ...
متن کاملRational Reciprocity Laws
The purpose of this note is to provide an overview of Rational Reciprocity (and in particular, of Scholz’s reciprocity law) for the non-number theorist. In the first part, we will describe the background in number theory that will be necessary for a complete understanding of the material to be discussed in the second part. The second part focuses on a proof of Scholz’s reciprocity law using the...
متن کاملSocioeconomic Status and Patterns of Parent–Adolescent Interactions
This study investigated reciprocity in parent–adolescent interactions among 102 families from lower or higher socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. Negative behaviors between parents and adolescents were more reciprocal (strongly correlated) in higher SES than lower SES families, and this reciprocity correlated with higher family relationship quality. Lower SES families exhibited reciprocity ...
متن کاملImitative Trust versus Indirect Reciprocity
Indirect reciprocity, a key concept in evolutionary game theory, provides a mechanism that allows cooperation to emerge in a population of self-regarding individuals even when repeated interactions between pairs of actors are unlikely. Recent empirical evidence, in particular laboratory experiments, show that humans typically follow complex assessment strategies involving both reciprocity and i...
متن کاملEffect of holding office on the behavior of politicians.
Reciprocity is central to our understanding of politics. Most political exchanges-whether they involve legislative vote trading, interbranch bargaining, constituent service, or even the corrupt exchange of public resources for private wealth-require reciprocity. But how does reciprocity arise? Do government officials learn reciprocity while holding office, or do recruitment and selection practi...
