Sažetak

Despite relatively cheap mobility and intensive globalization processes, the place attachment remains an important part the human existence (Lewicka, 2010:226, ). Our aim is to understand the evolution of the place attachment. For this purpose we apply evolutionary game theory with the replicator dynamics and we follow the literature on the identity economics. A novelty which Akerlof i Kranton (2000) introduce is that an individual may choose an activity opposite to her identity in order to maximize her own utility. In other words, the choice of identity and
activities is separated. Pavlinović (2012) develops a basic evolutionary game-theory model of spatial identity where agents can only act in line with their own identity. On the contrary, Akerlof i Kranton (2000) introduce the assumption that an individual may choose an activity opposite to her. Thus, we modify the model in Pavlinović (2012) and consider the choice of identity and action separately. We explore if this
modification significantly affects the results.
