What’s neat is that we can distill rational behavior down to a simple formula:
the strength of social distancing is proportional to both the perceived infection cost and prevalence.
Remarkably, this gives a posteriori justification for simple heuristics developed to understand diseases like HIV.

Usually, such Nash equilibria can only be studied numerically, but we found an exact analytic solution for the self-organized social distancing behavior and the corresponding disease dynamics.

Social behavior during epidemics is a self-organized collective phenomenon:
People change their behavior based on the epidemic state, which is itself affected by the behavior.
Game theoretic analysis shows that such dynamics can give rise to Nash equilibria.

Hey Saverio, thanks for making this. Can I still be added? Thanks!
