	Attrition warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Attrition warfare is a strategic concept that to win a war, one's enemy must be worn down to the point of collapse by continuous losses in personnel and material.
		A well-known example of this is during World War I on the Western Front, where both forces found themselves in static defensive positions in trenches that ran from the Swiss Alps to the English Channel.
		In the sense that attrition warfare represents an attempt to grind down an opponent through superior numbers, it represents the opposite of the usual principles of war, where one attempts to achieve decisive victories through maneuver, concentration of force, surprise, and so forth.

	The War of Attrition with Expected Changes of Future Terms. Kovtunenko B.I. Abstract, 1999
		In contrast to the conventional infinite horizon war of attrition setting, we introduce an external constraint on the duration of the “war”.
		In the “dead zone” the “war” ends with probability zero and, thus, once the game evolved into the “dead zone”, it is common knowledge for the players that the “war” will last till the very end.
		It is also shown that in some cases the introduction of the external constraint on the duration of the “war” can not only raise but also lower the expected social welfare.

	VIIIth Spring Meeting of Young Economists: Program
		There are two well-studied timing games in economics: In a war of attrition, having more predecessors helps; in a pre-emption game, more predecessors hurts.
		This paper introduces and explores a rich new spanning class of timing games with rank-order payoffs that subsume both timing games as special cases, but in general allows one timing game to ‘morph’ into another.
		Also, anticipation of a later timing game influences current play -- from swelling the magnitude of pre-emptive explosions to truncating wars of attrition.

	Game Theory Analysing Wars of Attrition
		uch of the existing literature on 'wars of attrition' focuses on games with only two players, or on the straightforward generalization to N+1 players competing for N prizes.
		In such games, except in the final stage, a player’s departure will not end the game, and players may continue to incur at least some costs even after they have conceded.
		First, if firms continue to pay their full costs after dropping out (as in a standard-setting context), each firm’s exit time is independent both of K and of the actions of other players.

		The Hawk-Dove game shows that the advantage of fighting behavior can be offset by the cost of fighting, and that a cost benefit analysis can show that when resource value is low compared to cost of fighting, restraint is adaptive (actually this will be a mixed ESS).
		This is also known as "the waiting game" because the winner of the contest, the individual that gains the resource, is the individual that is prepared to persist longer.
		Some advertising may be necessary on the part of the most dominant individuals even though the simple war of attrition models suggest otherwise, because the dominant can avoid many contests.
