Do we have any valid reasons to affirm that non-human primates display economic behaviour in a sufficiently rich and precise sense of the phrase? To address this question, we have to develop a set of criteria to assess the vast array of experimental studies and field observations on individual cognitive and behavioural competences as well as the collective organization of non-human primates. We review a sample of these studies and assess how they answer to the following four main challenges. (i) Do we see any economic organization or institutions emerge among groups of non-human primates? (ii) Are the cognitive abilities, and often biases, that have been evidenced as underlying typical economic decision-making among humans, also present among non-human primates? (iii) Can we draw positive lessons from performance comparisons among primate species, humans and non-humans but also across non-human primate species, as elicited by canonical game-theoretical experimental paradigms, especially as far as economic cooperation and coordination are concerned? And (iv) in which way should we improve models and paradigms to obtain more ecological data and conclusions? Articles discussed in this paper most often bring about positive answers and promising perspectives to support the existence and prevalence of economic behaviours among non-human primates.

This article is part of the theme issue ‘Existence and prevalence of economic behaviours among non-human primates’.

非人类灵长类动物的经济行为

我们是否有任何有效的理由来断言非人类灵长类动物以足够丰富和精确的含义表现出经济行为?为了解决这个问题,我们必须制定一套标准来评估关于个体认知和行为能力以及非人类灵长类动物集体组织的大量实验研究和现场观察。我们回顾了这些研究的样本,并评估它们如何应对以下四个主要挑战。(i) 我们是否看到非人类灵长类动物群体中出现了任何经济组织或机构?(ii) 已被证明是人类典型经济决策基础的认知能力(通常是偏见)是否也存在于非人类灵长类动物中?(iii) 我们能否从灵长类动物、人类和非人类以及非人类灵长类动物之间的表现比较中汲取积极的教训,如典型的博弈论实验范式所得出的,特别是在经济合作和协调方面?(iv)我们应该如何改进模型和范式以获得更多的生态数据和结论?本文讨论的文章通常会带来积极的答案和有希望的观点,以支持非人类灵长类动物中经济行为的存在和普遍性。
