Abstract
This article surveys selected economic choice models of genocide, which can be applied to the choices of a wide variety of actors in genocide contexts including architects, bureaucrats, on-the-ground perpetrators, passive bystanders, helpers, victims, and multiplex agents. The survey begins with standard rational choice theory and then incorporates important psychological and sociological elements that can affect the choices of genocide actors. A series of intuitive models is presented with more formal mathematical treatments available in citations. The models surveyed feature critical ideas related to genocide choices from standard rational choice theory, behavioral economics, social or identity economics, and network economics. The models are then applied to genocide risk, scaling up, and, especially, prevention.
