ISER Discussion Paper from Institute of Social and Economic Research, Osaka University

Abstract: We use the framework of random matching games and develop a two society model to analyze the interaction of societies with different social norms. Each agent repeatedly faces two different coordination games. A social norm of a society is a mode of behavior - strategy - which is adopted by a majority of agents in the society. There are many equilibria in thsi world.
