One possible solution to mitigate the negative influences of conflict which has been proposed in the literature is to … increasing an individual's social capital will lead her to reduce her conflict effort, whereas increasing her human capital can … induce her to increase her conflict effort. We then analyze which conditions need to be present to induce the individuals to …

In a canonical model of military conflict, victory and defeat depend stochastically on the difference of resources … deployed by the conflict parties. The present paper offers a comprehensive analysis of that model. The unique Nash equilibrium … conflict and, less often so, of its resolution. The formal derivation exploits the variation-diminishing property of higher …
