ABSTRACT Cooperation for public goods poses a dilemma, where individuals are tempted to free ride on others’ contributions. Classic solutions involve monitoring, reputation maintenance and costly incentives, but there are important collective actions based on simple and cheap cues only, for example, unplanned protests and revolts. This can be explained by an Ising model with the assumption that individuals in uncertain situations tend to conform to the local majority in their network. Among initial defectors, noise such as rumors or opponents’ provocations causes some of them to cooperate accidentally. At a critical level of noise, these cooperators trigger a cascade of cooperation. We find an analytic relationship between the phase transition and the asymmetry of the Ising model, which in turn reflects the asymmetry of cooperation and defection. This study thereby shows that in principle, the dilemma of cooperation can be solved by nothing more than a portion of random noise, without rational decision-making.
摘要公共产品合作带来了一种困境,即个人被诱惑搭上他人贡献的便车。经典的解决方案包括监控、声誉维护和昂贵的激励措施,但也有一些重要的集体行动仅基于简单而廉价的线索,例如计划外的抗议和起义。这可以用伊辛模型来解释,该模型假设处于不确定情况下的个人往往符合其网络中的局部多数。在最初的叛逃者中,谣言或对手的挑衅等噪音会导致他们中的一些人意外合作。在临界噪音水平下,这些合作者会引发一连串的合作。我们发现了Ising模型的相变和不对称性之间的分析关系,这反过来又反映了合作和叛逃的不对称性。因此,这项研究表明,原则上,合作的困境只能通过一部分随机噪声来解决,而无需理性决策。

An option-theoretic model of a reputation network 信誉网络的期权理论模型

ABSTRACT This paper constructs a new theory of social networks based on reputation. The model assumes that reputation is an asset and that individuals connect by buying options on the reputation of others. In networking, individuals construct portfolios of call options to leverage the reputations of others and put options to hedge the connections with others. A network then consists of portfolios of reputation options. The option model confers advantages not present in existing models. First, the payoff to connecting is the payoff on a portfolio of reputation options. Second, the network forms as individuals take option positions; the network evolves as individuals adjust those positions. Third, networking strategies become option strategies. The model allows for insights into network structure, the price of connecting and the value of connecting.
摘要本文构建了一个新的基于声誉的社交网络理论。该模型假设声誉是一种资产,个人通过购买他人声誉的期权来建立联系。在网络中,个人构建看涨期权投资组合,以利用他人的声誉,并看跌期权来对冲与他人的联系。然后,网络由声誉选项的投资组合组成。期权模式带来了现有模式所没有的优势。首先,连接的回报是声誉期权组合的回报。第二,网络是随着个人采取选择立场而形成的;网络随着个人调整这些位置而演变。第三,网络策略变成了选择策略。该模型允许深入了解网络结构、连接的价格和连接的价值。

Opinion convergence in the Krasnoshchekov model Krasnoshchekov模型中的意见收敛

ABSTRACT In this paper, a rigorous mathematical analysis of the Krasnoshchekov model is presented. We have shown that in case a community does not contain any group of people having zero resistance to interpersonal influence, which are moreover isolated from the pressure of the rest of community, the Krasnoshchekov opinion readjustment procedure can be reduced to the Friedkin–Johnsen dynamics. In turn, if one repeats the Krasnoshchekov opinion updating rule, the corresponding dynamics forces individuals’ opinions to converge eventually to some terminal opinions, which are a consensus under the same conditions as in the French–Harary–DeGroot dynamics. Otherwise, the Krasnoshchekov dynamics exhibits patterns, which are much closer to the behavior of electrons in the superconductivity state.
本文对Krasnoshchekov模型进行了严格的数学分析。我们已经表明,如果一个社区不包含任何对人际影响没有抵抗力的群体,而且他们与社区其他人的压力隔绝,那么克拉斯诺什切科夫的意见调整程序可以简化为弗里德金-约翰逊动态。反过来,如果重复Krasnoshchekov意见更新规则,相应的动态会迫使个人的意见最终收敛到一些最终意见,这是在与French–Harary–DeGroot动态相同的条件下达成的共识。否则,Krasnoshchekov动力学表现出模式,这更接近于超导状态下电子的行为。

ABSTRACT Are there things that ordinary people can do in their private lives to reduce economic inequality? And, if so, how would these things work? To be sure, there are macro societal mechanisms for reducing inequality. But are there micro mechanisms for reducing inequality? This article first examines inequality measures and behavioral models that produce inequality effects, identifying five sets of inequality mechanisms which lead to levers that ordinary people can use to reduce income inequality, and next discusses the levers, with special attention to their feasibility, ease of use, and side effects. The five levers highlight transfers, equal additions, negative assortative mating, wage schedules that reward multiple personal characteristics, and compensation procedures with voting rules, many voters, diversity of thought, and secret ballots. This work raises new questions for research, such as the sources of diversity of thought.
摘要:普通人在私生活中能做些什么来减少经济不平等吗?如果是这样的话,这些东西将如何运作?可以肯定的是,有减少不平等的宏观社会机制。但是,是否存在减少不平等的微观机制?本文首先考察了产生不平等效应的不平等措施和行为模型,确定了五组导致普通人可以用来减少收入不平等的杠杆的不平等机制,然后讨论了这些杠杆,特别注意它们的可行性、易用性和副作用。这五个杠杆强调了转移、平等添加、负匹配、奖励多种个人特征的工资表,以及带有投票规则、众多选民、思想多样性和无记名投票的补偿程序。这项工作为研究提出了新的问题,例如思想多样性的来源。

Late marriage and transition from arranged marriages to love matches: A search-theoretic approach 晚婚与从包办婚姻到爱情匹配的转变:一个搜索理论的方法
IF 1 4区 社会学 Q3 MATHEMATICS, INTERDISCIPLINARY APPLICATIONS Pub Date : 2018-08-10 DOI: 10.1080/0022250X.2017.1416371

ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to explore the mechanism behind how the spread of individualism, the prevalence of love matches, and the increase in search costs affect late marriages in Japan. To this end, I construct a search-theoretic model, which is a combination of the Markov decision process and the evolution of preferences. I present three results. 1) The spread of individualism is driven by those who moderately consider the social status of their family. 2) The spread of individualism and the prevalence of love matches delay the average marriage timing, but its effect is limited. 3) The diversity of individualism prevents people from switching from love matches to arranged marriages, while the search costs are rising.
摘要:本研究旨在探讨个人主义的传播、爱情匹配的盛行和寻找成本的增加对日本晚婚的影响机制。为此,我构建了一个马尔可夫决策过程与偏好演化相结合的搜索理论模型。我提出三个结果。个人主义的传播是由那些适度考虑家庭社会地位的人推动的。(2)个人主义的传播和爱情配对的盛行推迟了平均结婚时间,但其影响有限。3)个人主义的多样性阻碍了人们从爱情配对转向包办婚姻,而寻找成本正在上升。

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the dynamics of collective action through collective reputation, which indicates the extent to which groups succeed. Many previous works introduced psychological traits such as irrationality and a sense of fairness to explain the diffusion of collective action. However, this paper analyzes the relationship between cooperation and dynamic change in group size using game-theoretic models. The results show the sets of parameters in which positive feedback between cooperation and group size occurs. In these parameter sets, cooperation creates a good collective image (reputation) and encourages outsiders to join the group. In turn, the group expansion gives them incentives to cooperate. Additionally, when this positive feedback functions, punishment is found to be unnecessary for cooperation.
摘要本文通过集体声誉来分析集体行动的动力,这表明了群体成功的程度。以前的许多作品都引入了非理性和公平感等心理特征来解释集体行动的扩散。然而,本文利用博弈论模型分析了合作与群体规模动态变化之间的关系。结果显示了合作与团队规模之间出现正反馈的参数集。在这些参数集中,合作创造了良好的集体形象(声誉),并鼓励外部人员加入团队。反过来,集团的扩张给了他们合作的动力。此外,当这种正反馈起作用时,发现合作不需要惩罚。

Inequality, cooperation, collective action, and delayed marital unions: papers from the Sixth Joint Japan–US Conference on Mathematical Sociology and Rational Choice 不平等、合作、集体行动和延迟的婚姻结合:来自第六届日美数学社会学和理性选择联合会议的论文

The papers in this special issue were presented at the Sixth Joint Japan–US Conference on Mathematical Sociology and Rational Choice held on August 2016 in Seattle, WA. The conference was cosponsored by two sections of the American Sociological Association (Mathematical Sociology and Rationality and Society) and by the Japanese Association for Mathematical Sociology. Professors Jun Kobayashi (Seikei University), Masayuki Kanai (Senshu University), Kikuko Nagayoshi (Tohoku University), John Skvoretz (University of South Florida), and Douglas Heckathorn (Cornell University) were the conference organizers. The four papers in this special issue are a subset of the papers that were invited for the issue, and these in turn were a subset of all the papers presented. Invited papers were selected by the organizers with an eye toward the generality of problem and depth of mathematical content. All submitted papers were peer reviewed as per the standard review procedures of the journal. Three of the papers are very much in the tradition of rational choice: “Late Marriage and Transition from Arranged Marriages to Love Matches” (Kezuka), “The Survival of Inefficient and Efficient Norms” (Kira), and “Self-organizing Collective Action” (Obayashi). Actors are assumed to gain utility from their actions but how much depends on the actions of others and on parametric factors of theoretical interest. Actors are presumed to maximize utility. Their behavioral strategies include first-order actions (such as cooperate or not) and possible higher-order actions that are sanctioning reactions to lower-order behaviors by others. The aim of analysis, generally, is to derive equilibrium conditions. The problems addressed in the Kira and Obayashi papers are quite broad, namely, collective action and the survival of norms of cooperation. The Kezuka paper is motivated by an empirical puzzle in developed countries with the specific example of Japan, in which there is increasing delay in first marriage. The fourth paper, “What Can You and I Do to Reduce Income Inequality?” (Jasso), differs from the others in several ways. There is no formal model of actors nor functional specification of the factors on which their utility depends. The point of paper is not to assume some action set available to actors and look for equilibrium conditions expressed as stable probabilities over strategies, but rather to develop an understanding of what actions are available to actors if they were to seek to reduce income inequality. In “Late Marriage and Transition from Arranged Marriages to Love Matches,” Kezuka links the delay to a change in the basis of marriage from arranged matches to love matches, a change that is driven in turn by a change in value system from traditional to individualistic. An important background element is the division of the actor population into different social classes because arranged matches can only occur between actors of the same class.

本期特刊中的论文发表在2016年8月在华盛顿州西雅图举行的第六届日美数学社会学与理性选择联合会议上。该会议由美国社会学协会的两个部门(数学社会学和理性与社会)和日本数学社会学协会共同主办。Jun Kobayashi教授(Seikei大学)、Masayuki Kanai教授(Senshu大学)、Kikuko Nagayoshi教授(东北大学)、John Skvoretz教授(南佛罗里达大学)和Douglas Heckathorn教授(康奈尔大学)是会议组织者。本期特刊中的四篇论文是本期受邀发表的论文的子集,而这些论文又是所有论文的子集。受邀论文由组织者挑选,着眼于问题的普遍性和数学内容的深度。所有提交的论文都按照期刊的标准评审程序进行了同行评审。其中三篇论文在很大程度上是理性选择的传统:《晚婚与从包办婚姻到爱情匹配的转变》(Kezuka)、《低效和高效规范的生存》(Kira)和《自组织集体行动》(Obayashi)。参与者被认为从他们的行为中获得效用,但效用的多少取决于其他人的行为和理论感兴趣的参数因素。行动者被认为是效用最大化的。他们的行为策略包括一阶行为(如合作与否)和可能的高阶行为,这些行为是对他人低阶行为的制裁反应。一般来说,分析的目的是导出平衡条件。Kira和Obayashi文件中涉及的问题相当广泛,即集体行动和合作规范的存续。Kezuka论文的动机是发达国家的一个经验难题,以日本为例,日本的初婚延迟越来越多。第四篇论文“你和我能做些什么来减少收入不平等?”(Jasso)在几个方面与其他论文不同。没有行动者的正式模型,也没有他们的效用所依赖的因素的功能规范。本文的目的不是假设参与者可以采取一些行动,并寻找以稳定概率表示的平衡条件,而是了解如果参与者寻求减少收入不平等,他们可以采取什么行动。在《晚婚与从包办婚姻到爱情匹配的转变》一书中,Kezuka将这种延迟与婚姻基础从包办匹配转变为爱情匹配联系起来,而这种转变又是由价值体系从传统转变为个人主义所驱动的。一个重要的背景因素是将演员群体划分为不同的社会阶层,因为安排的匹配只能发生在同一阶层的演员之间。即使演员的级别不同,爱情匹配也可能发生。该分析分为两个步骤:一个决策步骤,发生在单身人士根据他们是否有传统或个人主义偏好而达成包办婚姻或爱情婚姻的时期内。在不同时期之间,复制因子动态被应用于人群中传统偏好持有者与个人主义偏好持有者的混合。比例是根据演员所达到的预期满意度而改变的。人们认为,保持单身比安排好的比赛带来的满足感更少,后者比恋爱比赛带来的满意感更少。预期满意度取决于寻找配偶的可能成功,而这又取决于搜索者的价值体系和相关的搜索成本所确定的匹配类型,也取决于当前的组合《数学社会杂志》2018,第42卷,第4期,183–185https://doi.org/10.1080/0022250X.2018.1442403

Love matches can occur even i","PeriodicalId":50139,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Sociology","volume":"42 1","pages":"183 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0022250X.2018.1442403","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43981426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Although meta-norms have been considered as the key to sustaining cooperation norms, this study argues that the meta-norms also facilitate the survival of inefficient norms. The opportunistic norm violation strategy is proposed as an alternative mechanism to motivate costly punishments. A repeated norm enforcing game, in which the externality of the normative action can be negative or positive, is analyzed. This game is equivalent to a social dilemma if the externality is large enough. The ranges of externalities that support tit-for-tat, meta-norm, and opportunism equilibria are compared. The meta-norm equilibrium has the highest stability; however, it can persist in negative externalities. Finally, the opportunism equilibrium is more stable than the tit-for-tat equilibrium, but it breaks down when the externality is small.
虽然元规范被认为是维持合作规范的关键,但本研究认为元规范也促进了低效规范的生存。提出了机会主义违反规范策略作为激励代价高昂的惩罚的替代机制。本文分析了一个重复规范强制博弈,其中规范行为的外部性可以是消极的,也可以是积极的。如果外部性足够大,这个游戏就相当于一个社会困境。比较了支持以牙还牙、元规范和机会主义均衡的外部性范围。元规范均衡具有最高的稳定性;然而,它可能持续存在负外部性。最后,机会主义均衡比以牙还牙均衡更稳定,但当外部性较小时,机会主义均衡就会崩溃。

ABSTRACT Remittances are flows of money between immigrants and their relatives. A scarcely addressed topic related to human migration is the application of Network Flow Analysis (NFA) in the study of remittances. This study provides both a theoretical and empirical macro-level study of worldwide remittance flows. Theoretically, a remittance model used by the World Bank is probabilistically analyzed and useful probability bounds are derived. Empirically, a weighted graph model built from World Bank data delivers important insight on the remittance generative process, the highest remittance flow values and inflow–outflow remittance variations. This manuscript concludes by postulating that remittances potentially result from a multiplicative process and that techniques based on NFA provide novel ways of approaching remittance dynamics problems.
摘要汇款是移民与其亲属之间的资金流动。网络流量分析(NFA)在汇款研究中的应用是一个与人类移民有关的几乎没有被提及的话题。本研究提供了对全球汇款流动的理论和实证宏观层面的研究。从理论上对世界银行使用的汇款模型进行了概率分析,得出了有用的概率界。根据经验,根据世界银行数据建立的加权图模型对汇款生成过程、最高汇款流量值和流入-流出汇款变化提供了重要的见解。本文最后假设汇款可能是由乘法过程产生的,基于NFA的技术提供了解决汇款动力学问题的新方法。
