在本文中,我们分析了社会资本是否可以从偏好演化过程中内生地出现。我们将社会资本定义为在一次性囚徒困境博弈中促进自愿合作的偏好。我们研究了内源性偏好如何依赖于个体对彼此偏好的信息量。当有足够多的信息时,最大化的社会资本就会出现。一般来说,社会资本的水平随着信息量的增加而增加。我们的研究结果可能会增加对决定社会产生合作成果的能力的因素的理解。
In this paper we analyze whether social capital can emerge endogenously from a process of preference evolution. We define social capital as preferences that promote voluntary cooperation in a one-shot Prisoner’s Dilemma game. We investigate how the endogenous preferences depend on the amount of information individuals have about each other’s preferences. When there is sufficiently much information, maximal social capital emerges. In general, the level of social capital varies positively with the amount of information. Our results may add to an understanding of the factors that determine a society’s ability to generate cooperative outcomes.
