Predicting the Rise of EU Right-Wing Populism in Response to Unbalanced Immigration

We locate tipping points between the fraction of immigrants and the rise of RW populism, and we model our empirical findings using a complex network framework in which the success of globalization rests on a balance between immigration and immigrant integration.

2.
Punishment Diminishes the Benets of Network Reciprocity in Social Dilemma Experiments

Costly punishment proved to be surprisingly ineffective in promoting cooperation. This ineffectiveness suggests that the rational response to punishment assumed in theoretical studies is overly stylized and needs reexamining.

3.
Biological Conservation Law as an Emerging Functionality in Dynamical Neuronal Networks

Scientists strive to understand how functionalities, such as conservation laws, emerge in complex systems. We propose a network mechanism that demonstrates how collective statistical laws can emerge at a macro-level, even when they do not exist at micro-level.
