Aiding refugees, aiding peace?

M. Christian Lehmann

Journal of Public Economic Theory, 2020, vol. 22, issue 5, 1687-1704

Abstract: I add two novel features to the two‐player contest model, the workhorse model of civil war: civilians can flee (i.e., become refugees) and refugees receive aid. I find that aid to refugees can promote peace or fuel conflict, depending on the context.
