PhD student Sandra Goff created a poster on a preliminary agent-based model designed to explore the effect of group selection on sustainability in social-ecological systems. The poster may be downloaded as a pdf.
Current versions of this model are being used to evaluate the conditions under which group-funcational sustainable behaviors arise and persist. Future versions will explore the ability for group selection to explain the emergence of Elinor Ostrom’s core design principles for robust social-ecological systems.
