The economic foundations of powersharing: Evidence from Africa
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract How—and with whom—do rulers share power? Existing research focuses on the strategic logic of powersharing.

Powersharing is modeled as a subnational fiscal contract, in which rulers allocate political representation based on constituencies’ revenue potential. Empirically, we combine historical

Metrika, 1959 In this paper we consider a queue in which a person, having joined, may decide to leave and give up service if it appears that the time consumed will exceed some maximum which he has available. Specifically, three problems are treated: a) How to make a rational (sequential) decision while waiting in the queue, b) the probable effect of this decision ...
