Linking Conflict to Inequality and Polarization
研究了一个冲突的行为模型，证明冲突的均衡水平可通过基尼系数、赫芬达尔-赫希曼碎片化指数和埃斯特班-雷极化测度的线性函数来近似。
In this paper we study a behavioral model of conflict that provides a basis for choosing certain indices of dispersion as indicators for conflict. We show that a suitable monotone transform of the equilibrium level of conflict can be proxied by a linear function of the Gini coefficient, the Herfindahl-Hirschman fractionalization index, and a specific measure of polarization due to Esteban and Ray.
