A Dynamic Theory of Resource Wars
Acemoglu, Daron; Golosov, Mikhail; Tsyvinski, Aleh; … - 2011
We develop a dynamic theory of resource wars and study the conditions under which such wars can be prevented. Our focus is on the interaction between the scarcity of resources and the incentives for war in the presence of limited commitment. We show that a key parameter determining the...
