摘要：We explore how, and under which conditions, market institutions can spontaneously arise after an institutional collapse. Drawing on emergence theory, we develop a multilevel model of institutional emergence after an extreme collapse, where only the individuals' memories remain from pre-collapse institutions. We start with individuals seeking to transact, looking to decrease cost and increase trust in their transactions. At the micro level, the multiplication of transactions can trigger process...

Trustors evaluate new information on the ability, benevolence,...

They have a tendency to defect for maximizing individual interests rather than to cooperate for benefiting each party in the exchange. Blockchain-based smart contracts come with the promise of solving this dilemma of cooperation. In this paper, we trace this promise to a new mechanism of cooperation, programm...
