Our new paper, on the evolution of institutions, is out in PNAS!

How can institutions promote cooperation when they themselves rely on cooperation? Check out JB's awesome thread!

Very proud of this paper with @jliep.bsky.social, N. Baumard, @jbaptistandre.bsky.social!

Do we cooperate because of institutions, or do institutions exist because we cooperate?

In this @pnas.org paper led by @jliep.bsky.social, with @lfitouchi.bsky.social & N. Baumard, we develop a mathematical model that answers this question.
