- And because aggregate outcomes depend on the distribution of cross-argument weights across a population rather than on the modal type, the prime directs attention to sorting and matching mechanisms: a modest fraction of conditional cooperators can sustain cooperation if matched with similar types.
This sourceClassifies ~50% of subjects as conditional cooperators and ~⅓ as free riders, the population mix whose matching sustains or collapses cooperation.
