The Prisoners' Dilemma Revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cooperation has always been recognised as a fundamental ingredient in the creation of societies and the generation of wealth. As a concept, it has been studied for many years. Yet, in practice, its emergence and persistence are less understood. In the following a game theoretic approach to the study of cooperation based on the Prisoners' Dilemma is reviewed. Using a Genetic Algorithm, strategies for playing the Innnitely repeated Prisoners' Dilemma are evolved. Are also reported results obtained with an implementation in MATLAB of such an algorithm and the insights it provides with regard emergence and persistence of cooperative behaviour.

Sequential Equilibria in the Repeated Prisoners’ Dilemma with Private Monitoring
We analyze the infinitely repeated prisoners’ dilemma with imperfect private monitoring. The efficient outome can be approximated in any prisoners’ dilemma game, while every individually rational feasible payoff can be approximated in a class of prisoner dilemma games. Our results require that monitoring be sufficiently accurate but do not require very low discounting.
متن کاملBelief-Based Equilibria in the Repeated Prisoners' Dilemma with Private Monitoring
We analyze in...nitely repeated prisoners’ dilemma games with imperfect private monitoring, and construct sequential equilibria where strategies are measurable with respect to players’ beliefs regarding their opponents’ continuation strategies. We show that, when monitoring is almost perfect, the symmetric e¢cient outcome can be approximated in any prisoners’ dilemma game, while every individua...

The choice between quantity and price in order to stabilize collusion is modeled here. It is shown that this relocates the prisoners’ dilemma backwards, from the market stage to the stage where the market variable is chosen in order to sustain collusion, and where discount rates appear as the payo¤s. Likewise, a prisoners’ dilemma arises also when both the market variable and the type of behavi...
متن کاملRoles of Space and Geometry in the Spatial Prisoners’ Dilemma
The spatial prisoners’ dilemma is a useful model in stochastic game theory that can help probe spatial complexity classes and quantify macroscopic emergent properties. Repeated simulation experiments with different temptation payo↵ parameter values and with varying initial proportions of defector players indicate a detailed structure in phase space that exhibits sharp transitions regardless of ...
