Dynamics & Quantitative Studies of Human Behavior
A priority focus of research at the Institute continues to be the emergence, persistence and demise of social institutions and their co-evolution with distinctive human behaviors — such as altruistic cooperation, out-group hostility and adaptive learning — typically overlooked in standard economic and other behavioral science models. In line with the well-established scientific tradition of the Institute, this research is characterized by (a) its trans-disciplinary nature, (b) its use of nonlinear dynamical systems to study the explicit out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the relevant processes, (c) and sustained interaction between mathematical modeling and well-defined empirical case studies and problems of potentially great contemporary practical relevance. Summarized here are several research areas.
Sub Topics
- Agent-based Modeling in the Social Sciences
- Emergence and Robustness of Community Structures
- Financial Markets as an Empirical Laboratory
- Geographic Structure, Demographic History, and Approximate Bayesian Computation
- The Cost of Money as a Public Good
- The Dynamics of Civilizations
- The Evolution of Human Behaviors & Institutions
- The Evolution of Human Languages
- War Time Sexual Violence
