This effect explains why the sum of rentseeking efforts often falls considerably short of the prize that is at stake. It may cause violent conflict in early rounds, but may also lead to long periods of peaceful interaction." (author's abstract) "Unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Haupttypen dynamischer Wettbewerbe (das Wettrennen, das Tauziehen, Ausscheidungskämpfe und wiederholte Kämpfe um Amtszeiten) identifizieren die Autoren ein gemeinsames Muster: den Entmutigungseffekt. Dieser Effekt erklärt, wieso die Rent-seeking-Bemühungen in Summe oft deutlich nicht an den auf dem Spiel stehenden Preis heranreichen. Der Effekt kann heftige Kämpfe in den ersten Runden des Wettbewerbs auslösen, aber auch zu langen Perioden friedlichen Zusammenspiels führen." (Autorenreferat)
