The evolution of cooperative hierarchies through natural selection processes
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 12 - Trang 29-42 - 2010
According to a bioeconomic model called skew selection, individuals form cooperative hierarchies when coping with high risk environments that include predators and cycles of scarce resources. This paper reports a study that used agent-based computer simulations to experimentally test the predictions of skew selection. Results of the experiment showed that successful face-to-face transaction strate......
Plant domestication more rapid under optimizing behavior
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 20 - Trang 287-308 - 2018
We assume that early Neolithic cultivators had an optimizing behavior aiming yield maximization and labor efficiency. Then we conduct a hypothetical optimization exercise by examining which consequences such behavior would have if applied to the cultivation of Near-Eastern wild cereals, especially on their rate of domestication measured by the frequency of non-shattering seeds. Two stages of the c......
Toward a 0th Law of Thermodynamics: Order-Creation Complexity Dynamics from Physics and Biology to Bioeconomics
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 6 - Trang 65-96 - 2004
The evolutionary economics part of bioeconomics has its origins in attempts to justify why only rational firms survive, or to introduce dynamics into economic orthodoxy. To the extent that these views persist, this aspect of bioeconomics appears outdated. A more recent view is that the most significant dynamics in bio- and econospheres are not variances around equilibria. Instead order is now seen......
Explaining the U-shaped life satisfaction: dissatisfaction as a driver of behavior

Evolution and monopolistic competition in an irrational industry
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 21 - Trang 157-182 - 2019
This paper builds an evolutionary model of an industry where firms produce differentiated products. Firms have different average cost functions and faces different demand functions. Firms are assumed to be totally irrational in the sense that firms enter the industry regardless of the existence of profits; firms’ outputs are randomly determined rather than generated from profit maximization proble......
Convergent cultural evolution and multilevel selection: Reply to comments on Janet Landa’s ‘The bioeconomics of homogenous middleman groups as adaptive units: Theory and empirical evidence viewed from a group selection framework’
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 11 - Trang 185-190 - 2009
The comments on Janet Landa’s (J Bioecon 10(3):259–278, 2008) target article provide a fascinating snapshot of how multilevel selection theory is perceived across several disciplines. When we focus on the zone of agreement among the commentators, Landa’s article provides an important example of convergent cultural evolution. When we focus on the zone of disagreement, we find a snapshot of the curr......
Coevolution of product quality and consumer preferences
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 12 - Trang 101-117 - 2010
This paper seeks to analyze the self-reinforcing coevolutionary process of innovation on the basis of the framework of evolutionary ecology and population genetics. Particularly central to this analysis is “Fisher’s runaway process,” which explains the coevolution of product quality and consumer preference in the supply–demand context. This paper puts forward the following main points. First, we c......

The Male-Female Pay Gap Driven by Coupling between Labor Markets and Mating Markets
Journal of Bioeconomics - - 2006
Males often get paid more than females for the same work. This male-female pay gap has been observed throughout the world over many years. The most commonly cited explanations focus on gender oppression and workplace discrimination. We agree that discrimination contributes significantly to the pay gap; however, other factors may play important roles in how the sexes compete in the labor market. We......
Evolution, institutions, and human well-being: perspectives from a critical social anthropology
Journal of Bioeconomics - Tập 16 - Trang 61-69 - 2013
The work of Elinor Ostrom is important for those who deplore the fact that the rise of ethnographic methods has led mainstream socio-cultural anthropologists to lose interest in evolution. This trend in anthropology is illustrated with reference to research on property, where Ostrom herself made notable contributions. However, it is argued that her mature work on the evolution of rules and her pri......
