Subject: [members] ABM on public goods production
To: members@lists.p2pvalue.eu


Hi all,

I found an article about a simulation of step-level public goods production that is interesting for the project. Step-level goods are those that require a minimum of contributions to produce the good.
http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/17/1/4.html

It's been published on JASSS (so Nigel surely knows about it) and one of the authors is from UAB. We live in a small world!

The article is interesting because it analyzes factors which favour productivity, which are: intermediate effort level of each agent, intermediate confidence about other agents' cooperation, dense horizontal structure, etc.

Enjoy!

Javi
