We develop a con‡ict model linking dissipation to the distribution of the population over an arbitrary number of groups. We extend the pure contest version of the model by Esteban and Ray (1999) to include a mixed public-private good. We analyze how the level of dissipation changes as the population distribution and the share of publicness of the prize change. First, we …nd that, in case of pur...

Ecologist Ilkka Hanski’s pioneering work changed our understanding of how biodiversity is maintained. Combining mathematical modelling and long-term data from the wild, he developed metapopulation theory. This predicts the degree of habitat fragmentation beyond which a species will go extinct. Hanski’s 1999 book Metapopulation Ecology (Oxford University Press) became a cornerstone for researche...
