For this purpose, we develop an infinitely repeated rent-seeking model with two groups where within-group cooperation is … then characterize the conditions under which cooperation among fellow members within each group can be achieved as a … stationary subgame perfect equilibrium. The main conclusion is that the larger group has more chances to maintain cooperation …

This work offers an analysis of cooperation dilemmas making emphasis in the role of the unequal outcomes.
