On HatredTilman KlumppUniversity of Alberta, Department of Economics Hugo M. MialonEmory University - Department of Economics July 3, 2012 Emory Law and Economics Research Paper No. 11-120 Emory Public Law Research Paper No. 11-183 Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of hatred in two-player games. We model hate as “reverse-altruism” or a preference for low opponent payoffs, and derive implications for behavior in conflicts where players are motivated by hate. We use these results to illuminate several policy issues, both historical and contemporary: the strategy of non-violent resistance during the American civil rights era, shifts in U.S. national security strategy following 9/11, and the justification for criminal and civil penalty enhancements for hate crimes.
