Not by intuitions alone: Institutions shape our ownership behaviour
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e329 (2023)
Abstract
Every day, people make decisions about who owns what. What cognitive processes produce this? The target article emphasises the role of biologically evolved intuitions about competition and cooperation. We elaborate the role of cultural evolutionary processes for solving coordination problems. A model based fully on biological evolution misses important insights for explaining the arbitrariness and historical contingency in ownership beliefs.Author's Profile
