We-thinking in Game Theory
Cooperation is the foundation of human social life, but it sometimes requires individuals to choose against their individual self-interest. How then is cooperation sustained? How do we decide when instead to follow our own goals? I develop a model that builds on Bacharach’s (2006) ‘circumspect we-reasoning’ to address these questions. I then suggest another potential application of we-reasoning to the multiple-selves problem.
