''Identifying defectors in a population with short-run players.''
( 2015, Vol. 35 No.2 )
 
 
This paper considers a repeated Prisoner’s' Dilemma game to explore how an information mechanism that labels defectors can help sustain cooperation in societies that include short-run players. We provide sufficient conditions under which there exists equilibria that sustain cooperation for different information technologies that identify defectors. We also analyze imperfect labeling mechanisms.
