Titre(s) : The economics of conflict [Texte électronique] : theory and empirical evidence / edited by Karl Wärneryd
Publication : Cambridge, Massachusetts : MIT Press, [2014]
Description matérielle : 1 online resource (xviii, 285 pages)
Collection : CESifo seminar series
Note(s) : Modern economics has largely ignored the issue of outright conflict as an alternative
way of allocating goods, assuming instead the existence of well-defined property rights
enforced by an undefined third party. And yet even in ostensibly peaceful market transactions,
conflict exists as an outside option, sometimes constraining the outcomes reached
through voluntary agreement. In this volume, economists offer a crucial rational-choice
perspective on conflict, using methodological approaches that range from the game
theoretic to the experimental.
