“…We also see extensions of conflict models that enrich the conflict environment to consider variations in the timing of decisions, the information available to contestants, and the heterogeneity of contestants (e.g., Fu et al, 2015;Olszewski and Siegel, 2016). Similarly, analyses of conflict have been expanded to consider interactions between different kinds of contestants, for instance conflicts between state and non-state actors (de Mesquita, 2013;Powell, 2013;Fearon, 2011;Esteban et al, 2015) or between ethnic groups (Esteban and Ray, 2011;Esteban et al, 2012;Mitra and Ray, 2014), and a number of papers consider the influence of third-parties on conflict frequency and outcomes (Baliga and Sjöström, 2012;Hörner et al, 2015;Dekel and Wolinsky, 2012).…”
