That individuals contribute in social dilemma interactions even when contributing is costly is a wellestablished observation in the experimental literature. Since a contributor is always strictly worse off than a non-contributor the question is raised if an intrinsic motivation to contribute can survive in an evolutionary setting. Applying stochastic evolutionary dynamics we give conditions for...

Traditional agency theory assumes that managers are egoistic and need incentives to act in the best interests of the firm. As such, agency theory is a key determinant of firm size, capital structure, corporate governance, and firm value. However, traditional theory ignores the fact that some people are virtuous and do not need such incentives. If some employees are selfless, diligent, and have ...

We propose that hypotheses implicating human population density in wildlife endangerment at global and national scales owe their public and academic currency as thoroughly to inductive reasoning and repetition as to scientific experimentation. It follows...
