Are you teaching on the West Coast?! Just kidding. (Maybe not entirely*) I recall from my psych days that a notable thing about the prisoner's dilemma is that cooperation obtains. I got the impression that the result was robust. Perhaps a perusal of psych literature may shed some light on the subject--they have a long history in dealing with human subjects, so there might be something to learn. I'm stuck in a backwater (pop. 1,500) with a one-room library, so I can't help look. Sorry I can't be more helpful. jsh *I went to the Univ. of Oregon and found attitudes regarding considerate-ness significantly different from my native Michigan. That's where I really learned to appreciate the significance of the following quote: ===== "...for no one admits that he incurs an obligation to another merely because that other has done him no wrong." -Machiavelli, Discourses on Livy, Discourse 16. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
