Send, Jonas - 2021

I analyse a group contest in which groups decide over two dimensions of membership-exclusivity: whether a member is allowed to join the group at all, and whether this member is allowed to join another group as well. If the prize is mostly private, group leaders do not oﬀer membership in...

Real life disputes, negotiations or competitive situations involve multi-issue considerations; the final outcome depends on the aggregated effort over several dimensions.

Wars of conquest and wars of independence are characterized by an asymmetric payoff structure: one party gets aggregate production if it wins, and its own production if it loses, while the other party gets only its own production if it wins, and nothing if it loses. We study a model of war with...
