An evolutionary model is used to examine how the presence of strategic risk and exclusion in interactions on the basis of economic class diierences (assortative matching) can explain persistent inequality. A large population of agents is matched asynchronously according to a wealth-weighted probability distribution to play a 2 2 coordination game with a Pareto dominant equilibrium and a risk do...
