Abstract
Integrating "diversity" into rational choice models is key to achieve interesting results on collective action in which there is alternation between cooperation and defection in a feedback way. As agent-based models are useful tools to handle flexible assumptions on strategic behavior in simulated environments, in this paper it is shown how this methodological approach could help to reach this objective.
