Evolution of semi-Kantian preferences in two-player assortative interactions with complete and incomplete information and plasticity
We model the evolution of preferences guiding behavior in pairwise interactions in group-
structured populations. The model uses long-term evolution theory to examine different …

Evolutionary models of preference formation
I Alger, JW Weibull - Annual Review of Economics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
The literature on the evolution of preferences of individuals in strategic interactions is vast
and diverse. We organize the discussion around the following question: Supposing that …

Evolutionary selection of socially sensitive preferences in random matching environments
D Menicucci, PL Sacco - Journal of Mathematical Sociology, 2009 - Taylor & Francis
In this paper we study the evolutionary selection of socially sensitive preferences in the
context of reference interaction settings such as coordination failure and cooperation. We …

Partner Choice and Morality: Preference Evolution under Stable Matching
Z Wang, J Wu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2304.11504, 2023 - arxiv.org
We present a model that investigates preference evolution with endogenous matching. In
the short run, individuals' subjective preferences simultaneously determine who they choose …

Joint evolution of traits for social learning
Animals vary in the sophistication of their capacities for social learning, and much research
has focused on establishing when learning from others is favourable. However, social …

Elimination of non-individualistic preferences in large population aggregative games
R Lahkar - Journal of Mathematical Economics, 2019 - Elsevier
We study evolution of preferences in large population aggregative games. In such games,
all agents in society interact with each other. The material payoff or fitness of agents is …

Cooperation as a transmitted cultural trait
A Bisin, G Topa, T Verdier - Rationality and Society, 2004 - journals.sagepub.com
In this paper, we study an endogenous cultural selection mechanism for cooperative
behavior in a setting where agents are randomly matched in a one-shot interaction …

Pairwise imitation and evolution of the social contract
N Campigotto - Journal of Evolutionary Economics, 2021 - Springer
This paper studies the evolution of conventions in Stag Hunt games when agents' behaviour
depends on pairwise payoff comparisons. The results of two imitative decision rules are …

The preferences of Homo Moralis are unstable under evolving assortativity
J Newton - International Journal of Game Theory, 2017 - Springer
Differing degrees of assortativity in matching can be expected to have both genetic and
cultural determinants. When assortativity is subject to evolution, the main result of Alger and …

Evolutionary Stability of Other-Regarding Preferences Under Complexity Costs
A DiGiovanni, N Macé, J Clifton - arXiv preprint arXiv:2207.03178, 2022 - arxiv.org
The evolution of preferences that account for other agents' fitness, or other-regarding
preferences, has been modeled with the" indirect approach" to evolutionary game theory …
