Abstract
In the context of sustainable development, a complex adaptive systems framework can help address the coupling of macro social, environmental and economic constraints and opportunities with individual agency. Using a simple evolutionary game approach, we fuse endogenously derived socio-economic system dynamics from human and nature dynamics (HANDY) theory with Prisoner’s Dilemma, spatial intra-societal economic transactions. We explore the potential of spectral information from the social network adjacency matrices to predict synchronization dynamics and see how behavioral social spatial heterogeneity entrain with wealth, carrying capacity and population.
