Fig. 8: Model results in terms of technology’s quality as a function of population size.

From: Innovation rate and population structure moderate the effect of population size on cumulative technological culture

Fig. 8

We run 200 simulations of 200 generations for each population size in the range [0, 100]. Gray lines represent each simulation single simulation run for a specific population size. The blue line represents the averaged technology’s quality between simulations. Common parameter values for all models: n = 2, θ = 5, βUP = 1.2, βDOWN = 0.6. A pinnovation = 0.001. B pinnovation = 0.01. C pinnovation = 0.05. D pinnovation = 0.1.
