Conflict as a “Normal Economic Activity”: The Contribution of Jack Hirshleifer, 1925–2005
分析杰克·赫什莱佛如何改造经济人假设，将自私和情感纳入理性范畴，从而把冲突重新归类为可经济分析的理性行为，对理解冲突的经济根源有启发。
The writings of the American economist Jack Hirshleifer (1925–2005) are considered some of the most influential contributions to the economics of conflict. This article examines how Hirshleifer transformed the behavioral assumptions of Homo economicus (the self-interest model and the concept of rationality) to offer economically grounded explanations for conflicts. We explain how, through his interactions with sociobiologists and game theorists, he reduced self-interest to mere selfishness and redefined rationality to encompass emotions and feelings. The final result was a disciplinary reclassification of conflict as a subvariety of selfish, rational behavior amenable to economic analysis.
