An important aspect of many societal and institutional processes is the way in which the involved individuals interact. Motivated by work of Conlisk (1976) we formulate a model which allows such interaction among a finite number of individuals. Conditions are established under which our model converges to an approximation suggested by Conlisk as the population becomes infinite.
