Between-group contests over group-specific public goods with within-group fragmentation

Dasgupta, Indraneel; Neogi, Ranajoy Guha - 2017

We model a contest between two groups of equal population size over the division of a group-specific public good. Each group is fragmented into sub-groups. Each sub-group allocates effort between production and contestation. There is perfect coordination within sub-groups, but sub-groups cannot...

A model of dynamic conflict in ethnocracies

Bakshi, Dripto; Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2015

We model an infinitely repeated Tullock contest, over the sharing of some given resource, between two ethnic groups. The resource is allocated by a composite state institution according to relative ethnic control; hence the ethnic groups contest the extent of institutional ethnic bias. The...

Decolonization, property rights and language conflicts

Dasgupta, Indraneel; Neogi, Ranajoy Guha - 2017

We model political contestation over school language policy, within linguistic communities where weak property rights protection leads to high decentralized expropriation. We show that improvements in governance institutions that facilitate property rights protection might exacerbate such...

A subscription vs. appropriation framework for natural resource conflicts

Bakshi, Dripto; Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2020

We examine how cross-community cost or benefit spillovers, arising from the consumption of group-specific public goods, affect both inter-group conflicts over the appropriation of such goods and decentralized private provision for their production. Our model integrates production versus...

Internal versus external rent-seeking with in-group inequality and public good provision

Bakshi, Dripto; Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2021

We examine how inequality in the endowment of secure wealth, mediated through voluntary public good provision, affects rent-seeking within and between groups. We model a scenario where two communities, each internally differentiated into rich, intermediate and poor segments, contest one another...

A rent-seeking perspective on imperial peace

Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2024

We model a rent-seeking contest among two "identity ideologues", differentially located along a uni …-dimensional identity continuum, and a "mercenary", who can choose any location in-between. The contest jointly awards an identity …-relevant good ("religion") and an identity-irrelevant good ("money"). The mercenary values only money, the ideologues value both …

Assimilation, criminality and ethnic conflict

Dasgupta, Indraneel; Mukherjee, Diganta - 2014

We examine the consequences, of integrating large minorities into productivity-relevant majority ethno-linguistic norms, for distribution, ethnic conflict and crime. We develop a two-community model where such assimilation generates social gains by: (a) facilitating economic interaction, and (b)...

Democratisation under diversity: theory and evidence from Indonesian communities

Mitra, Anirban; Pal, Sarmistha - 2021

We study the effect of ethnic diversity on local public spending following fiscal decentralisation in a setting where local institutions are salient. Specifically, the latter affects coordination costs and thereby cooperative behaviour across the constituent ethnic groups. Our theory highlights...
