Machine Theory of Mind (2018, background): “Such models will be important for value alignment (Hadﬁeld-Menell et al., 2016) and ﬂexible cooperation (Nowak, 2006; Kleiman-Weiner et al., 2016; Barrett et al., 2017; Kris Cao), and will likely be an ingredient in future machines’ ethical decision making (Churchland, 1996).”

Structural balance in the social networks of a wild mammal (2013, background): “Furthermore, it may facilitate ‘network reciprocity’, in which individuals form groups and cooperate with their group members (Nowak 2006).”
Communication and collective action: language and the evolution of human cooperation (2010, methodology): “Analytical results (Nowak, 2006; Panchanathan & Boyd, 2003) indicate that such a system of indirect reciprocity is evolutionarily stable as long as q, the information used in discriminative cooperation, is sufficiently large (specifically, qbNc).”
Opportunistic Spectrum Access in Cognitive Radio Networks: Global Optimization Using Local Interaction Games (2012, background): “is motivated by local cooperation in biographical systems [37], [38].”
Mechanisms of reciprocity in primates: testing for short-term contingency of grooming and food sharing in bonobos and chimpanzees (2013, methodology): “Reciprocal altruism has since received support from theoretical 32 models (reviewed by Nowak 2006) as well as from empirical studies on human foragers (Allen-33 Arave et al., 2008; Gurven, 2004a, 2004b; Gurven, 2006; Koster, 2011; Patton, 2005; Ziker & 34 Schnegg, 2005) and non-human primates…”
The structure and dynamics of multilayer networks (2014, background): “In addition, the study of evolutionary games on networks has been one of the most studied avenues to understand the emergence of cooperation in different contexts [330].”
Vital nodes identification in complex networks (2016, background): “Evolutionary games have long been exemplary models for the emergence of cooperation in socioeconomic and biological systems [175, 176].”
Altruism and Indirect Reciprocity: The Interaction of Person and Situation in Prosocial Behavior (2008, background): “We will therefore distinguish between prosocial behaviors motivated by altruism (altruistic behavior) and egoism (egoistic behavior).”
The promise of Mechanical Turk: how online labor markets can help theorists run behavioral experiments. (2012, background): “Evolutionary game theory uses mathematics to formalize the process of evolution (Hofbauer and Sigmund, 1998; Nowak, 2006b).”
The Role of Cooperation in Responsible AI Development (2019, background): “49In an iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma, for example, cooperation can be incentivized by things like the threat of retaliation and the promise of reciprocity (Axelrod, 1984; Nowak, 2006).”
