A Subscription vs. Appropriation Framework for Natural Resource Conflicts
Bakshi, Dripto; Dasgupta, Indraneel - 2020
negative (or weaker positive) consumption spillovers across communities may reduce inter-group conflict and increase aggregate … socially beneficial consequences. We also identify conditions under which their impact will be both conflict-augmenting and … feedback loops linking ethnic conflict and natural resource degradation in developing country contexts. …

We show that this problem can be solved by local competition (such as bribery, lobbying, rent seeking, competition at … the patent office) among players who apply the same search strategies or develop the same design. Such competition can … restore full efficiency in the non-cooperative equilibrium. Local competition interacts with the choice of whether to cluster …

Strategically Equivalent Contests
Chowdhury, Subhasish; Sheremeta, Roman - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014
Using a two-player Tullock-type contest we show that intuitively and structurally different contests can be strategically equivalent. Strategically equivalent contests generate the same best response functions and, as a result, the same equilibrium efforts. However, strategically equivalent...

Multiple Equilibria in Tullock Contests
Chowdhury, Subhasish; Sheremeta, Roman - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
We find the sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple equilibria in Tullock-type contests, and show that asymmetric equilibria arise even under symmetric prize and cost structures. We then present existing contests where multiple equilibria exist under reasonably weak conditions.

A new scramble for land or an unprecedented opportunity for the rural poor? Distributional consequences of increasing land rents in developing countries
Hvid, Anna Kirstine; Henningsen, Geraldine Adrienne - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014
Price induced increases in land rents trigger an increasing incentive for rent-seeking behavior. To analyse distributional and welfare effects of increasing land rents in developing countries, we develop a game theoretic model where a large and heterogeneous group of farmers competes with a...

A generalized Tullock contest
Sheremeta, Roman; Chowdhury, Subhasish - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
We construct a generalized Tullock contest under complete information where contingent upon winning or losing, the payoff of a player is a linear function of prizes, own effort, and the effort of the rival. This structure nests a number of existing contests in the literature and can be used to...
