Evolution of Equity Norms in Small-World Networks

Figure 8

The frequency of the EQ regime for different sizes of the interaction network. The qualitative results do not differ from those ones analysed in the previous sections for a population of 100 agents. Regular ring lattices and networks with low rewiring probability support the dominance of the equity norm, while more random networks contribute to the emergence of fractious states.
