    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Information sharing in competitive environments may seem\ncounterintuitive, yet it is widely observed in humans and other\nanimals. For instance, the open-source software movement has\nled to new and valuable technologies being released publicly\nto facilitate broader collaboration and further innovation. What\ndrives this behavior and under which conditions can it be ben-\neficial for an individual? Using simulations in both static and\ndynamic environments, we show that sharing information can\nlead to individual benefits through the mechanisms of pseudo-\nreciprocity, whereby shared information leads to by-product\nbenefits for an individual without the need for explicit recipro-\ncation. Crucially, imitation with a certain level of innovation is\nrequired to avoid a tragedy of the commons, while the mecha-\nnism of a local visibility radius allows for the coordination of\nself-organizing collectives of agents. When these two mecha-\nnisms are present, we find robust evidence for the benefits of\nsharing—even when others do not reciprocate.",
