Concept explainers
Prisoner’s dilemma. Two people are suspected of robbing a bank. They are being interrogated in separate rooms. If both stay silent, they can be conv icted of a lesser crime and sentenced to only 6 months. If one confesses (or “defects”) and the other does not, the confessor goes free as a reward for cooperating while the other suspect will be sent to prison for 10 years. If both defect, they each go to prison for 5 years. Create a payoff matrix from the point of view of Suspect #1. (Adopt the method from previous Mindscapes.)
