Seeking Rents by Setting Rents: The Political Economy of Rent Seeking
The Economic Journal, 1987In recent years, there has been a large number of papers on the subject of rent seeking. Most such works on rent seeking have taken the rent as exogenously determined by regulators. Regulators, howeve r, may also be expected (and indeed have been shown) to be rent seeke rs and hence the determination of the rent itself should be endogeniz ed to reflect

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1980
The relationship between gestational age at delivery and the cost of neonatal care was analyzed for 137 infants of 24 to 34 weeks' gestation born between 1973 and 1977. Cost estimates were based on hospital charges actually collected, adjusted to 1977 rates and weighted according to a smoothed survival curve.

A General Theory of Rent-Seeking: Rent Dissipating, Rent Keeping, and Rent-Seeking
2020As long as the value of various resources differs through their varied uses, the concept of “rent” can be deduced from the concept of land rent. This rent equals “income.” That said, when no exclusive right exists to the rent, regardless of whether naturally or artificially generated, the phenomenon of “rent dissipation” exists.

The trade route between Manila and Mexico was a monopoly of the Spanish Crown for more than 250 years. The Manila Galleons were ``the richest ships in all the oceans'', but much of the wealth sank at sea and remain undiscovered. We introduce a newly constructed dataset of all of the ships that travelled this route.

Rents are a perfectly good economic category and there is absolutely nothing in general against seeking them. If I were to invent and patent a cure for cancer and then became extremely wealthy by claiming rents on the patent, most people would regard me as a public benefactor. Nevertheless, “rent-seeking” is regarded as an unadulterated evil.

The Journal of Business, 1991
Textbook models fail to explain royalty and fee-pricing arrangements in the patent and trade-secret licenses discussed here. A theory of royalty pricing as an efficient tax and as a performance bond explains more. Royalty taxes help coordinate user outputs to maximize the joint value of a common customer pool.

Journal of Theoretical Politics, 2005
Rent-seeking models have been used to predict and explain a wide variety of political decisions. This paper extends Tullock’s classic rent-seeking model to the case of a risky rent, where the winner of the rent-seeking contest does not receive the rent for sure, but only probabilistically.

Proceedings of the 47th ACM Technical Symposium on Computing Science Education, 2016
"Service is the rent we pay for the space we take up on earth", my dad's mantra, and one used by many. Participating in professional organizations such as SIGCSE and its parent organization, ACM, has been for me an incredibly rewarding obligation. Many have given of their time and talents to help me on my way.
