Evolutionary thinking in environmental economics (2007, background): “Together with Kenneth Boulding and Herman Daly, Georgescu-Roegen may be considered as one of the ‘economic’ founders of ecological economics, as he presented the notion of exosomatic instruments as an almost natural extension of endosomatic capabilities of humans – i.e. those which are part of the h”
The Value of Groups (2009, neutral): “In evolutionary game theory this is referred to as 'associative' matching and has been used to explain how cooperation occurs within groups but not between them (see Theodore C. Bergstrom, 2002).”
Group Processes and Volunteering: Using Groups to Enhance Volunteerism (2009, background): “In cohesive groups, member commitment is stronger and satisfaction is higher ( Bergstrom, 2002 ; Jetten, Postmes, & McAuliffe, 2002 ).”
Culture and Public Action (2004, background): “Evolutionary models of preference formation are “functional” in the sociological sense, attributing the dominance of one set of preferences to fundamental factors that relate to human survivability (Bergstrom 2002).”
What sustains social norms and how they evolve? The case of tipping (2003, background): “He also shows that a high level markets and economic institutions affect the evolution of norms and the process of cultural transmission, and Elster (1989) and Bergstrom (2002) provide good reviews of the literature about norms and their evolution.”
Economic selection theory (2002, background): “6 Economists increasingly seem to acknowledge the usefulness of arguments developed in evolutionary biology (Samuelson, 2002) and view the biological origin of economic behaviour as a promising field of study ( Bergstrom, 2002; Robson, 2002).”
Sixteen common misconceptions about the evolution of cooperation in humans (2011, methodology): “…the old and new group selection, using the new to justify the old (e.g., O'Gorman et al., 2008; Robson, 2008; Sober & Wilson, 1998; Wilson et al., 2008), while Bergstrom (2002) discusses all three types as if they are the same thing (old: pp. 85–86; new: pp. 71–72, 76–77, 80; newer: pp. 81, 85–86).”
INTERDEPENDENT PREFERENCES AND RECIPROCITY (2005, background): “Sober and Wilson (1998) describe how group-selection models can lend support to non-selfish behavior (see also Bergstrom (2002) and Samuelson (1993)).”
The firm as an interactor: firms as vehicles for habits and routines (2004, background): “15 See, for example, Boyd and Richerson (1985), Hodgson (1993), Brandon (1996), Sober and Wilson (1998), Bergstrom (2002, 2003) , Kerr and Godfrey-Smith (2002a).”
