Abstract
We model internal and external rent-seeking between groups. When within-group polarization increases, positive consumption externalities between intra-group factions contract. Between and within-group rent-seeking may, nonetheless, decline. Greater between-group polarization increases conflict. Greater extremism within a group may benefit its rival.
