Abstract

An agent- based model of social dynamics is introduced using a deformable fitness landscape, and it is shown that in certain clearly specifiable situations, strategies that are different from utility maximization outperform utility maximizers. Simulation results are presented and intuitive interpretations of the results provided. The situations considered occur when individuals' actions affect the outcomes for other agents and endogenous effects are dominant. The Tragedy of the Commons is merely a special case of this. Arguments are given that constraints are to be encouraged in some circumstances. The appropriate role of constraints in various types of society is assessed and their use justified in identifiable types of situations.

内生不确定性和约束动力学

引入了一个基于智能体的社会动力学模型，该模型使用了一个可变形的适应度景观，并表明在某些明确规定的情况下，与效用最大化不同的策略优于效用最大化策略。给出了仿真结果，并对结果进行了直观的解释。所考虑的情况发生在个体的行为影响其他主体的结果和内源性效应占主导地位的情况下。公地悲剧只是其中的一个特例。给出了在某些情况下应该鼓励约束的论点。评估约束在各类社会中的适当作用，并在可识别的各类情况下合理使用约束。
