Abstract

This paper analyzes the formation of cooperation in the two-player “Prisoner’s Dilemma Game” and “Trust Game.” Cooperation is attained in the Long-Run Equilibrium (Kandori et al [1993]) if players form expectations about their payoffs simply based on their experiences and make a “cautious” experimentation. Using this model, the closed society (Japanese society) and the open society (the United States society) is characterized by the difference of the level of experimentation.
