🗞️📣 New paper "Exact conditions for evolutionary stability in indirect reciprocity under noise" with @chilbe.bsky.social & @yohm.bsky.social How can cooperation persist in large groups of unrelated individuals? Reputation 🗣️ But which social norms make this stable, even when mistakes happen? 🧵(1/6)

A model of direct and indirect reciprocity—in which people act more favorably to people with good reputations—finds that full cooperation can always be sustained as a Nash equilibrium. In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

How to cooperate for a sustainable future? We don't know (yet), but I'm thrilled to share that our new perspective piece has just been published in @pnas.org. Bridging complexity science and multiagent reinforcement learning can lead to a much-needed science of collective, cooperative intelligence.

This is a great opportunity to work with @yohm.bsky.social, one of the leading researchers in evolutionary game theory these days. 🙂 I can only recommend applying ⬇️

A little text about my journey with bipolar disorder. Seeing scientists speak openly about their experiences encouraged me to help break the stigma too. A part of me feels insecure about sharing this, but it also feels like the right thing to do. adileyasar.github.io/one-of-these...

Corina Tarnita and I have discussed the relation between theoretical ecology and evolutionary game theory since my sabbatical in 2022. Now the paper is out, doi.org/10.1073/pnas... Cooperation in nature may not be mysterious when there are growth differences- questioning the notion of cooperation.

How valuable is memory? In my very first paper, now published in Economics Letters, together with @chilbe.bsky.social and @nikoletaglyn.bsky.social, we give sufficient conditions under which a player can afford to remember less than their opponent. 🧵 📜 doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

🚨Job alert! Two-year postdoc to join the Rep2SI project at @lsemethodology.bsky.social! We're looking for a modeller to join our team of ethnographers & experimentalists studying the role of reputation and reputational concern in perpetuating social inequality. Apply by 4 May: tinyurl.com/yjccd3vv

Just two days left to apply for this postdoc position in @bjornlindstrom.bsky.social's group in Stockholm, on an exciting project on social learning and cultural evolution ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/... in collaboration with Piet van den Berg (Leuven) and myself (Amsterdam). Reposts welcome!

🚨 POSTDOC WANTED 🚨 Join the Behavioral Economics of Crime & Conflict Group at MPICSL in Freiburg! We're seeking a behavioral scientist with PhD in economics, psychology, or related. Experience with experiments is key. Full time, 2 years, no teaching. Apply now! tinyurl.com/FGR251 #EconSky

In game theory, we often assume that people only interact in one game at a time. In a new paper, we explore theoretically and experimentally how people cooperate when they engage in two games concurrently, either with the same partner or with different partners, www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am genuinely very excited to announce that I am officially a Research Scientist at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in the Discrete Event Simulation team, led by Nobuyasu Ito! 🇯🇵 🗾 🗻

How do institutions enable large-scale cooperation? 🤝 Institutions promote cooperation but depend on cooperation to function. In a new study in @pnas.org, @jbaptistandre.bsky.social, N. Baumard, @lfitouchi.bsky.social and I explore this paradox. 🧵 👉 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A very nice journey with a great ending: In a new paper, @NikoletaGlyn describes how longer memory allows people to sustain reciprocal cooperation. For details, see 🧵 below 👇 Paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I recently read a paper by Kleshnina and others and used it to teach myself some evolutionary game theory techniques. This is a little obscure, so I'll thread below about why this topic matters for humans and the environment 🧵 nadiah.org/2024/11/20/k...

In a new paper published today, @yohm.bsky.social and I discuss a general framework to make sense of social norms and different indirect reciprocity models. Below is a 🧵, here is the paper: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

1. Imagine we land a space probe on one of Jupiters’ moons, take up a sample of material, and find it is full of organic molecules. How can we tell whether those molecules are just randomly assembled goo or the outcome of some evolutionary process taking place there? 🧪
