Competition and the pursuit of unfettered self-interest result in greater efficiency, and benefits everyone involved equally. Effective policy can place incentives in such a manner that the very pursuit of unfettered self-interest of the prisoners results in the desired outcome of getting both to confess to the crime. Just as in the case of the prisoner's dilemma, the pursuit of unfettered self-interest will cause the fishermen who fish Atlantic swordfish (a common resource) to harvest them wisely and limit the number of fish each fisherman catches. Thus the fishermen's ability to pursue unfettered self-interest will allow the population of swordfish to remain stable and even grow. The fishermen trust each other to behave responsibly and in the interest of the common good.arrow_forward
- Evolutionary game theory provides a framework for understanding the emergence of preferences and behavior. Why are theoretical methodologies that employ the rational actor model an evolutionary stable strategy for economists?arrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardA Nash Equilibrium is the equilibrium of a game in which; Both players get the largest payoff amount Both players get the best payoff independent of what the other players choices are Both player, with the knowledge of what the other players possible moves are, do not have incentive to deviate from their strategy There is incomplete information of the game and each player makes the move that is best for them and their payoff outcomearrow_forward
