Designing contests between heterogeneous contestants : an experimental study of tie-breaks and bid-caps in all-pay auctions
Llorente-Saguer, Aniol; Sheremeta, Roman M.; Szech, Nora - 2016
A well-known theoretical result in the contest literature is that greater heterogeneity decreases performance of contestants because of the "discouragement effect." Leveling the playing field by favoring weaker contestants through bid-caps and favorable tie-breaking rules can reduce the...

Experimental Research on Contests
Sheremeta, Roman M. - 2018
Costly competitions between economic agents are modeled as contests. Researchers use laboratory experiments to study contests and test comparative static predictions of contest theory. Commonly, researchers find that participants' efforts are significantly higher than predicted by the standard...
