We study the coordination and cooperation problems that might hinder successful … collaborate. The results show that as costs of forming links increase, groups succeed less often in solving the coordination …

We provide a framework for analyzing collective action in contentious contexts such as protests or revolutions when individuals are uncertain about the relative payoffs of the status quo and revolution. We model the "calculus of protest" of individuals who must decide whether to submit to the...
