This paper implements an experimental test of a game-theoretic model of equilibrium profiling. Attackers choose a demographic “type” from which to recruit, and defenders choose which demographic types to search. Some types are more reliable than others in the sense of having a higher...

For high stocks of resources, when conflict is a highly costly activity … as a consequence of the (correct) anticipation that, when resources run low, the conflict option is used by a large share …
