Abstract

A 3P model (production, predation, protection) which can be game theoretically solved for two actors is generalized tonactors and studied by means of discrete simulation. The simulations confirm robust incentives for actors to produce and predate in an institution free environment, whereas protection activity is not significantly related to the ability for protection. The model is criticized for its neglect of predators predating on each other, and for its inability to reproduce real-life proportions of producers and predators and the times these spend on the three activities.
