Diffusion-Induced Stabilization of Nonreciprocal Wealth Dynamics
Pierre Bousseyroux, Gilles Zérah, Michael Benzaquen
We study the stability of equal wealth shares in a spatial model combining local sharing, global redistribution, and random nonreciprocal interactions. On a two-dimensional square…
Wealth Inequality and Planetary Boundaries in a Stylized Agent-Based Model
Thomas Valade, Michael Benzaquen, Matthieu Cristelli +2
At the intersection of rising wealth inequality and intensifying environmental pressures, we investigate a reverse causal relationship that has received comparatively little attent…
Farm Size Matters: A Spatially Explicit Ecological-Economic Framework for Biodiversity and Pest Management
Elia Moretti, Michel Loreau, Michael Benzaquen
The intensification of European agriculture, characterized by increasing farm sizes, landscape simplification and reliance on synthetic pesticides, remains a key driver of biodiver…
Group-Level Imitation May Stabilize Cooperation
Pierre Bousseyroux, Gilles Zérah, Michael Benzaquen
Stabilizing cooperation among self-interested individuals presents a fundamental challenge in evolutionary theory and social science. While classical models predict the dominance o…
Hydrodynamics of Cooperation and Self-Interest in a Two-Population Occupation Model
Jerome Garnier-Brun, Ruben Zakine, Michael Benzaquen
We study the hydrodynamics of a system of agents who optimize either their individual utility (self-interest) or the collective welfare (cooperation). When agents act selfishly, th…
Mitigating Farmland Biodiversity Loss: A Bio-Economic Model of Land Consolidation and Pesticide Use
Elia Moretti, Michael Benzaquen
Biodiversity loss driven by agricultural intensification is a pressing global issue, with significant implications for ecosystem stability and human well-being. Existing policy ins…
On the relative packing densities of pistachios and pistachio shells
Ruben Zakine, Michael Benzaquen
Given an appetizer bowl full of pistachios, what is the optimal size of the container -- neither too small, nor too big -- needed for accommodating the resulting non-edibl…
