"… in the unique equilibrium in our setting, a profit-seeking monopolist school offers an uninformative #signaling technology, generating the same signal regardless of effort, and capture all the surplus in terms of fees. In this case, the separating equilibrium envisaged in #Spence (1973) vanishes, and no wasteful effort is exerted! Competition among schools affects both the total surplus produced and its distribution: competition in fees allows students to retain a higher share of the total surplus … competition to attract high types induces schools to offer more informative monitoring policies, incentivizing higher levels of wasteful effort.
… one equilibrium outcome stands out for its robustness: full separation, yielding the Riley outcome—low-type students exert no effort and high-type students exert the lowest effort that low-types are unwilling to emulate. Thus, compared to the #monopoly case, #competition shifts surplus from the school to high-type students and entails efficiency losses due to socially wasteful effort in equilibrium. The critical driver of this result is the high-type students’ willingness to pay to access a monitoring policy that enables them to better distinguish themselves from low-type students and thus obtain higher #wages."
#GameTheory
The commitment to collaborate
https://aeon.co/essays/commitment-and-cooperation-a-coevolutionary-relationship
#Cooperation isn't just about immediate benefits, but about creating future opportunities through:
#Signaling intent to collaborate
Building #reputation
Creating social consequences for not following through
How did we get here? A step-by-step evolution:
Early group hunting required coordination
Successful hunts depended on mutual #trust
#Reputation became crucial for future interactions
Language emerged and made more complex commitments possible.
We learned to make credible promises that go beyond immediate context - promises across time, space, and with strangers.

ZUCK, who's virtue-signaling for Tr^mp, sez "Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling" LOLs
His employees are pissed; some great quotes. A favorite, posted in a public workplace thread: "I'm LGBTQ & Mentally Ill. Just to let you know, I'll be taking time out to look after my mental health."
