The new concept of cooperation among asset allocators

In the last 20th century, competition represents a critical factor for ensuring development. It plays a crucial role in stimulating creative problem-solving skills and indeed avoids conflict of interests. However, according to Yuval Noah, the author of "Sapiens a brief history of mankind", the key to success lies in the ability to cooperate and believe infiction. The Sapiens secret of success is large-scale flexible cooperation.

Cooperation is most commonly defined as groups of individualsworking oracting together for common, mutual, or some underlying benefit instead of working in competition for selfish benefit.

By contrast, Game Theory takes a slightly different perspective on it. As Game Theory studies cooperative behaviour by placing players in a game scenario, it defines cooperation asa competition between groups of players ("coalitions") due to the possibility of external enforcement of cooperative behaviour such as legal enforcement. To put it simply, you will cooperate if the payoff is bigger when you betray each other than when you cooperate.
