Trust and social efficiencies

Robert Rosenthal

Review of Economic Design, 2001, vol. 6, issue 3, 413-428

Abstract: In a variant of the repeated prisoner's dilemma, if extra costs are associated with the verifications built into strategies that could otherwise produce Pareto efficient equilibria, the attainment of efficient play becomes problematical. Evolutionary-game versions of this dilemma are studied here in an attempt to understand the difficulties societies face in maintaining efficient interactions mediated by trust.
