Groups and Networks: Their Role in the Evolution of Cooperation

Abstract

We study networks rather than groups, consider network ties as probabilistic rather than deterministic, and treat networks as dynamic rather than static. A dynamic model of network formation introduced in Skyrms and Pemantle (2000) is used to analyze paths to cooperation in Stag Hunt games and some versions of Prisoner’s Dilemma. Relative rates of evolution of structure and strategy are found to be crucial.
