This paper discusses the numerical solution of the coupled algebraic Riccati equations associated with the linear quadratic differential games. The Lyapunov iteration for solving the considered coupled equations is discussed by Li and Gajic (1994). We modify this iteration and derive the new...

We develop a model that captures the basic characteristics of competitively authoritarian regimes. An incumbent (government) faces a challenge from a rival (opposition). There is also an agent (bureaucracy) who can shirk and can interfere in this contest. Shirking is costly to the incumbent. The...
