A Hierarchical Bayesian Arms Race Model
There is a long history in the social sciences of building models to describe processes related to arms races. These include both theoretical models, such as the actionreaction Richardson model, and empirical models. In addition, there is a substantial literature on estimating parameters associated with these models given observations of military expenditures, or various proxies. Such methods s...
متن کاملComplete Asymptotic Analysis of a Two-Nation Arms Race Model with Piecewise Constant Nonlinearities
A discrete time two-nation arms race model involving a piecewise constant nonlinear control function is formulated and studied. By elementary but novel arguments, we are able to give a complete analysis of its asymptotic behavior when the threshold parameter in the control function varies from 0 to ∞. We show that all solutions originated from positive initial values tend to limit one or two cy...
متن کاملScenarios for the Network Neutrality Arms Race
Several factors suggest that meaningful network neutrality rules will not be enshrined in near-term U.S. telecommunications policy. These include disagreements over the need for such rules as well as their definition, efficacy and enforceability. However, as van Schewick (2005) has demonstrated in the context of the Internet, network providers may have economic incentives to discriminate in wel...
متن کاملArms Race Within Information Ecosystems1
Interacting agents of exploiters and users within an information ecosystem may be regarded both as biological beings and as part of an economic system of infohabitants. A protection system can be implementing as a filter governing the access to assets. Typically we will have a chain of attacks and countermeasures concerning this access to the desired assets. We model this process as an arms rac...
متن کاملAn Analysis of the Richardson Arms Race Model
According to Lewis Richardson, the likelihood of two nations engaging in conflict can be determined by a set of differential equations. Richardson conjectured that a nation’s probability of entering into an aggressive war is based upon its stockpiles of available weaponry, and tempered by the resistance of the citizenry. In the Richardson model, the likelihood of a small dispute erupting into a...
