What the paper says

This paper explores the link between redistribution and coups, typically overlooked in the coup literature dealing with incomes, growth and, recently, inequality. The model features three agents — government, opposition, and the military — and maximizes their utilities under two possible scenarios: peace and coup. Using real data from Honduras, the welfare losses associated with a breach of the country’s social contract are estimated to exceed 11 percent of gross domestic product for the opposition to conspire to stage a coup.
