我们分析社区之间的冲突。社区特有的公共产品，成员自愿捐款，定义了社区。一个社区的一些（但不是全部）成员可能会为另一个社区的公共利益做出贡献。当社区拥有相对平等的财富禀赋时，这种“过渡性”贡献就不会发生。从这个意义上讲，社区的“分离”会激励个人支持没收其他社区的财富，从而产生社区冲突。个人支持社区间冲突的动机可以通过两个社区共同的公共利益的存在而得到缓和。然而，只有当社区在构成社区自我认同的公共产品水平上分离时，这种适度才会发生。因此，跨社区的元社区公共产品和相对财富平等的存在对于缓解社区冲突都是必要的。
We analyze conflicts between communities. A community-specific public good, to which members make voluntary contributions, defines communities. Some, but not all, members of one community may contribute towards another community’s public good. Such ‘bridging’ contributions will not occur when communities have relatively equal wealth endowments. ‘Separation’ of communities in this sense provides incentives to individuals to support confiscation of the other community’s wealth, thus generating communal conflicts. Individuals’ incentives to support inter-community conflicts can be moderated by the presence of a public good common to both communities. Such moderation however occurs only when communities are separated at the level of public goods constitutive of a community’s self-identity. Thus the presence of meta-communal public goods and relative wealth equality across communities are both necessary to mitigate communal conflict.
