FAVORITES


Research in Slovenia. Read all about it here.

Coevolutionary games. To understand cooperation by means of coevolution read our review available here.

Public cooperation and punishment. Spatial structure as the invisible hand behind moral behavior and double moral standards in society? Affirmative results are here.

Programs for nonlinear time series analysis are here.

RECENT WORK

Should we punish? Yes, but only when necessary. Self- organization works wonders.

Population density and the evolution of cooperation: too low, optimal, too high. Key is the percolation threshold. Holds true also for pairwise interactions.

What can millions of books teach us about the nature of natural and social pheno- mena? Find out here. See also the culturomics page.

I will cooperate, but only if you will do it too. A good attitude for social welfare? Affirmations are here.

Interdependent networks: Going beyond heterogeneity in the pursuit of cooperation.

Games governed by group and pairwise interactions. Heterogeneity does help! But it matters whether one is in a group or not.

Three's a crowd? Not if you want cooperation.

The Gospel of St. Matthew states "For to all those who have, more will be given". What does it mean for the evolution of cooperation? Find all the answers here.

Should we rely on emotions rather than our strategies to elevate social welfare? Affirmations are here.

Sanctioning institutions as an alternative to peer- punishment. Read about it here. Related work is here.

Networks under attack. See how cooperators fare by group interactions here. Older results are here.

Should one use the carrot or the stick? How the carrot works is described here. Related papers are here.

How moral behavior can be established? Answers are here, here and here. Read also the Nature News coverage by Philip Ball.

Whom to imitate, the over- achiever or your Average Joe? Read all about it here and most recently here.

When will the bridge be built? A critical mass in pro- social behavior is crucial for its success. See here.
