Evolution of Equity Norms in Small-World Networks

Evolution of Equity Norms in Small-World Networks

The topology of interactions has been proved very influential in the results of models based on learning and evolutionary game theory. This paper is aimed at investigating the effect of structures ranging from regular ring lattices to random networks, including small-world networks, in a model focus...
