Balance of power and the propensity of conflict
Herbst, Luisa; Konrad, Kai A.; Morath, Florian - 2015
We study the role of an imbalance in fighting strengths when players bargain in the shadow of conflict. Our experimental results suggest: In a simple bargaining game with an exogenous mediation proposal, the likelihood of conflict is independent of the balance of power. If bargaining involves...
