However, the importance of reciprocal relationships in humans suggests that an actor may weigh the costs of harms of her corrupt behavior to individuals who may generate future benefits for her.

We overview a new non-parametric method for estimating the time-varying spectrum of a non-stationary random process. Our method extends Thomson's powerful multiple window spectrum estimation scheme to the time-frequency and timescale planes. Unlike previous extensions of Thomson's method, we identify and utilize optimally concentrated Hermite window and Morse wavelet functions and develop a sta...

Combining a system dynamics and agent based modeling approach, we formalize a simulation framework of the Human Development (HD) perspective. We first capture the core logic of HD theory in a asymmetric, coupled nonlinear system with empirically validated parameters from World Values Survey (WVS) data. Using evolutionary game theory, second we fuse these endogenously derived individual socio-ec...
