Summary

The model below is closely based on Murshed (2010: chap. 2). There are two sides to the potential conflict: a government side and a rebel group. Both sides have access to resource rents or booty, which could be viewed as the greed motivation for conflict. The rebels have some historical grievances, based on relative deprivation and/or other forms of horizontal inequality against the government, which can be assuaged by a transfer from the government.
