Drew Fudenberg on Prisoner’s Dilemma - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 156f Prisoner's Dilemma/Commodity Allocation/Economy/Common goods/Fudenberg: rationally, each player (user of a general good) places his own interests in the foreground. (See Prisoner's Dilemma/Ostrom). As a result, all those involved find themselves in the worst collective situation of all-round overuse - the Pareto-inferior Nash equilibrium. Repetition/Fudenberg: In game theory, this does not change even if the users play their prisoner's dilemma (finally often) repeatedly: the defection of all inevitably leads to the pareto inferiority of the game result. Only in the theoretical extreme case of an infinite repetition of always the same game predicts the theoretical folk theorem (e.g. Fudenberg and Maskin 1986) (1) that mutual cooperation can also be of equal importance. 1.
