This paper presents a dynamic game with capital accumulation of war between ethnic groups. Ethnically divided countries are more prone to fighting wars and the threat of war reduces income. Ethnic divisions lead to pressure for the government to redistribute resources from some ethnic groups to other groups. Groups fight each other to control redistribution policy. The model can account for 70 ...

The period since World War Two has been marked by a great deal of civil war. Most of these civil wars have been ethnic civil wars. This paper presents a one shot game of ethnic conflict. The government is endowed with goods that it distributes among ethnic groups. The government is initially controlled by one of the groups and other factions can expend resources to fight for control of the gove...

Wage inequality between education groups in the United States has increased substantially since the early 1980s. The relative number of college-educated workers has also increased dramatically in the postwar period. This paper presents a unified framework where the dynamics of both skill accumulation and wage inequality arise as an equilibrium outcome driven by measured investmentspecific techn...

All industrialized countries have experienced a transition from high birth rates and stagnant standards of living to low birth rates and sustained growth in per capita income. What factors contributed to this transition and to what extent? Were output and population dynamics driven by common or separate forces? We develop a general equilibrium model with endogenous fertility in order to quantit...

This paper argues that the growing US trade de…cit has caused the decline of the WTO and the rise of regional trade agreements. A country in de…cit prefers to retain market power against countries with a large surplus. Multilateral cooperation restricts its choice. This notion is formalized in a three-country game in which countries negotiate multilaterally and, if that fails, bilaterally. The ...
