Paper: Group Reputation Supports Beneficent Norms
Author: David Hales
Included below is a Java JAR
file containing the simulation program (both “.class” files and source “.java” files)
associated with the above paper. The JAR file cannot currently be run as an
Applet so you must download the file and run it locally on your machine. In
order to run the file you must have the Java runtime environment installed on
your machine (at least version 1.3.1). The Java runtime environment can be
downloaded from http://java.sun.com
The simulation currently has
no fancy GUI – if you run the JAR file it will simply output results to a file
called normsim-output.txt. To change the present experiments you need to unpack
the JAR file and examine and change the NormSim.java source file and then
recompile. If you do unpack the JAR file then make sure you unpack to a
directory in your class path. This is necessary because use is made of
packages.
Coming soon will be an
Applet version of the simulation with a nice GUI allowing you to run the
simulation from a browser and change parameters. Until then, you’ll have to
make do with this I’m afraid.
