Abstract

When resources are necessary to the survival of individuals but are continually depleted, should the resource be distributed based on fitness or need? Further, what is the effect of a bias towards distributing to neighbors? In this paper, we examine the redistribution of continually depleted resources in two types of networks: a completely connected network, and a Barabasi-Albert network. We find that the answer depends also on the imminence of shortage and the availability of information in the network.
