Title: A Resource Sharing Model to Study Social Behaviours
Pedro Mariano, Luís Correia
Abstract: We analyse a resource sharing game under different conditions in order to study social behaviours such as cooperation and treason. We opt to use the same framework and concentrate in analysing the game under different perspectives in order to find out which one produces a more cooperative population. This is possible since the game while having multiple Pareto Optimal strategies, also has multiple pure and mixed Nash Equilibriums, which results in complex population dynamics.
