One key insight: Can SP aggravate or lower conflict? It depends on:
- How SP affects the Opportunity Cost of violence
- How SP shapes attitudes viz. government, rebels
- The capability of armed actors (esp. rebels) to scuttle/ appropriate programs or inflict backlash

Implications: Let workers & employers figure out the best mix of flexibility and wages that works for each situation. Uniform approaches may not be optimal even within a firm - different workers may value & require different levels of flexibility, which can be adjusted wrt wages
