Towards the end of this period, economists realized the value of the evolutionary approach
to game theory in social science contexts, both as a method of providing foundations for the …

Evolutionary game theory originated in population biology from the realisation that
frequency-dependent fitness introduced a strategic element into evolution. Since its …

This paper aims to demonstrate that the strategic approach to link formation can generate
networks that share some of the main structural properties of most real social networks. For …

This paper describes an experiment designed to test which, if any, stochastic adjustment
dynamic most accurately captures the behaviour of a large population. The setting is a large …

J. Bergin and B. Lipman (Econometrica64 (1996), 943–956) show that the selection effect
from the random mutations in the adaptive population dynamics in M. Kandori, G. Mailath …

This paper contributes to an emerging literature aiming to understand the behavioral
patterns that lead to the formation of social networks. We introduce a strategic model of inter …

This paper analyzes players' long-run behavior in evolutionary coordination games with
imitation and one-dimensional local interaction. Players are assumed to interact with their …

In this paper, we make an exploratory use of computational techniques (genetic algorithms
and Monte Carlo simulations) to compute efficient and emergent networks in a spatialized …

We consider N agents, each picking actions from a finite set and receiving a payoff
according to its individual utility function that may depend on the actions picked by others …

Bergin and Lipman (1996) show that the refinement effect from the random mutations in the
adaptive dynamics in Kandori, Mailath and Rob (1993) and Young (1993) is due to …
