摘要:
The ratio of within-group to between-group fighting is shown to be unrealistically high for the collective rent seeking model when agents exert two efforts i.e. within-group and between-group efforts. The ratio is more realistic for the production and conflict model. Six economics examples illustrate the unrealistic implications of rent seeking analysis. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
