Cooperation is beneficial but may be hard to achieve in situations
where the selfish interests of individuals conflict with their common
goal, such as in sharing of goods, help, knowledge or information, in
trade and pollution negotiations, and in exploitation of common
resources. The standard models of such "social dilemmas" assume that
the individuals are obliged to participate in the dilemma. These
models fail to capture an important element of human interaction: that
people are in general free to select their interaction partners. In
this book a social dilemma with partner selection is introduced and
studied with the methods of formal game theory, experimental economics
and computer simulations. It allows exploration of simultaneous
dynamics of the network structure and cooperative behavior on this
structure. The results of this study show that partner choice strongly
facilitates cooperation and leads to networks where free-riders are
likely to be excluded.
