An Evolutionary Model of Intervention and Peace
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intervention often does not lead to peace, but rather to prolonged con ict. Indeed, we document that it is an important source of prolonged con icts. We introduce a theoretical model of the balance of power to explain why this should be the case and to analyze how peace can be achieved: either a cold peace between hostile neighbors or the peace of the strong dominating the weak. Nonintervention generally leads to peace after defeat of the weak. Cold peace can be achieved with su ciently strong outside intervention. The latter is thus optimal if the goal of policy is to prevent the strong from dominating the weak. JEL Classi cation Numbers: D74 (Con ict Resolution), C73 (Evolutionary Games), D02 (Institutions)

Selection of energy source and evolutionary stable strategies for power plants under financial intervention of government
Currently, many socially responsible governments adopt economic incentives and deterrents to manage environmental impacts of electricity suppliers. Considering the Stackelberg leadership of the government, the government’s role in the competition of power plants in an electricity market is investigated. A one-population evolutionary game model of power plants is developed to study how their pro...
متن کاملVerification of an Evolutionary-based Wavelet Neural Network Model for Nonlinear Function Approximation
Nonlinear function approximation is one of the most important tasks in system analysis and identification. Several models have been presented to achieve an accurate approximation on nonlinear mathematics functions. However, the majority of the models are specific to certain problems and systems. In this paper, an evolutionary-based wavelet neural network model is proposed for structure definiti...
متن کاملThe Lobbying, Bribery, and Compliance: An Evolutionary Model of Social Factors
Abstract Connecting to rule-makers in order to set favorable rules (lobbying) or paying government executives to bend the current rule (bribing) are the two main strategies for influencing government. This study in an evolutionary game model explain why bribing may become widespread while other states like compliance and cooperative lobbying are Pareto superior. The theoretical model is used ...
