Individual Strategy and Social Structure
The Evolution of Social Norms
Social norms are patterns of behavior that are self-enforcing within a group: Everyone conforms, everyone is expected to conform, and everyone wants to conform when they expect everyone else to conform. Social norms are often sustained by multiple mechanisms, including a desire to coordinate, fear of being sanctioned, signaling membership in a group, or simply following the lead of others. This article shows how stochastic evolutionary game theor…
Chapter 8. The Emergence of Classes in a Multi-Agent Bargaining Model
Innovation Diffusion in Heterogeneous Populations
New ideas, products, and practices take time to diffuse, a fact that is often attributed to some form of heterogeneity among potential adopters. This paper examines three broad classes of diffusion models—contagion, social influence, and social learning—and shows how to incorporate heterogeneity into each at a high level of generality without losing analytical tractability. Each type of model leaves a characteristic “footprint” on the shape of th…
Social Dynamics
Economists have traditionally studied aggregate behavior as the outcome of individual decisions made interactively, while sociologists have focused on the role of social influences on individual behavior. Over the past decade, however, the barriers between the disciplines have broken down, resulting in the new area of social economics. Social economics is based on the assumption that individuals are directly influenced by the choices and characte…

Cost allocation, demand revelation, and core implementation
This paper proposes an efficient mechanism for setting access charges to public facilities and publicly regulated monopolies. Traditional approaches to the cost allocation or regulated pricing problem generally require full information about demands that in practice may not be known to the regulator. We propose a simple demand revelation mechanism in which potential customers bid to be served and the regulator accepts a set of bids that maximizes…
Negotiation as a search for justice
International Negotiation: A Journal of Theory and Practice examines negotiation from many perspectives, to explore its theoretical foundations and to promote its practical application. The journal addresses the processes of negotiation relating to political, security, environmental, ethnic, economic, business, legal, scientific and cultural issues and conflicts among nations, international and regional organisations, and multinational corporatio…

The Economics of Convention
The purpose of conventions is to coordinate people's expectations in economic and social interactions that have multiple equilibria. Conventions often emerge endogenously from the accumulation of many precedents, a process that can be modeled as a stochastic dynamical system. The theory leads to specific predictions about the ways in which conventions form and are displaced, and identifies key properties of conventions that are most likely to wit…
Equity
Governments and institutions, perhaps even more than markets, determine who gets what in our society. They make the crucial choices about who pays the taxes, who gets into college, who gets medical care, who gets drafted, where the hazardous waste dump is sited, and how much we pay for public services. Debate about these issues inevitably centres on the question of whether the solution is fair. In Equity: In Theory and Practice, H. Peyton Young o…

Dividing the Indivisible
An office, or a mistress, cannot be apportioned out like a common. Jeremy Collier, Essays Upon Several Moral Subjects
The Evolution of Conventions
The author shows how a group of individuals can learn to play a coordination game without any common knowledge and with only a small amount of rationality. The game is repeated many times by different players. Each player chooses an optimal reply based on incomplete information about what other players have done in the past. Occasionally they make mistakes. When the likelihood of mistakes is very small, typically one coordination equilibrium will…
Negotiation Analysis
"H. Peyton Young has brought together the foremost experts from a variety of disciplines that have a bearing on negotiation analysis. Using techniques and examples drawn from fields including game theory, decision theory, economics, and experimental psychology, the contributors to Negotiation Analysis emphasize careful, systematic thinking about the negotiation process and show how recent work in these areas lends insight into an activity that pl…
Measuring the Compactness of Legislative Districts
About half of the states currently impose some form of standard on their districting plans. Yet there is no commonly accepted definition of how is to be measured. This paper surveys some of the principal measures gleaned from the literature in political science, geography, law, and mathematics. Although some of these measures are better than others, all are defective in some crucial respect; that is, they fail to give satisfactory results on cert…
