=== Foundations of Cooperation in the Commons ===

'''February 9 to 11, 2006'''

'''Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota'''

'''Welcome'''

This meeting will bring together economists, behavioral scientists, ecologists, mathematicians and modelers, to address still open questions on the “tragedy of the commons” problem. The origins of the problem of cooperation involve the understanding of the interactions and co-dependence between the formal and informal rules of the game, and the individuals’ preferences with respect to time, perception of risk, the environment and other human beings. The group of scientists invited will bring a series of novel approaches to these questions, and applied to various domains that touch the problem of collective action and cooperation.

'''Bogotá Working Group “Foundations of Cooperation in the Commons”

February 9-11, 2006, Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá'''

----

'''1. Objectives for the working group:
'''
• Share different results approaches and methods for studying cooperation, collective action and the problem of the commons.

• Discuss synergies and limitations of combining different methods to understand these questions.

• Evaluate the state of the art of the literature and identify the new relevant questions and approaches to the problem.

----

'''2. Format:'''

• As a working group meeting, the sessions are designed to allow for enough discussion among the group participants, based on short presentations by some of the participants.

• In each of the round table sessions there will be presenters who will share their work in about 20-30 minutes and invite for discussion with some questions.

• There will be two presentations by Bowles (Thursday) and Eckel (Friday) aimed at provoking wider questions for the group.
