Fairness in round-robin tournaments with four players and endogenous sequences

Dietz, Fabian; Sahm, Marco - 2024

We examine the effects of endogenous sequences on the fairness in round-robin tournaments with four players, multiple … show that there is no sequence which implies perfect fairness. By contrast, some endogenous sequences imply horizontal ex …-ante fairness irrespective of the prize structure. In winner-take-all tournaments, additional endogenous sequences are horizontally …

Partial Norms

D'Adda, Giovanna - 2019

We consider an expanded notion of social norms that renders them belief-dependent and partial, formulate a series of related testable predictions, and design an experiment based on a variant of the dictator game that tests for empirical relevance. Main results: Normative beliefs influence...

Norms, Emotions, and Culture in Human Cooperation and Punishment : Theory and Evidence

Dhami, Sanjit; Wei, Mengxing - 2023

We consider the psychological and social foundations of human contributions and punishments in a voluntary contributions mechanism with punishment (VCMP). We eliminate ‘dynamic economic linkages’ between the two stages of our ‘modified’ VCMP to rule out other potential explanations. We...

Religious Identity, Trust, Reciprocity, and Prosociality : Theory and Evidence

Dhami, Sanjit; Wei, Mengxing; Mamidi, Pavan - 2022

We use the trust and the dictator games to explore the effects of religious identity on trust, trustworthiness, prosociality, and conditional reciprocity within a beliefs-based model. We provide a novel and rigorous theoretical model to derive the relevant predictions, which are then tested in...

Asymmetric discouragement in asymmetric contests

March, Christoph; Sahm, Marco - 2016

We provide new experimental evidence which suggests an asymmetric discouragement effect in lottery contests with heterogeneous abilities. Compared to a symmetric contest, subjects invest less effort when facing a stronger opponent, but they invest the same when facing a weaker opponent. Our...

Optimal accuracy of unbiased Tullock contests with two heterogeneous players

Sahm, Marco - 2022

I characterize the optimal accuracy level r of an unbiased Tullock contest between two players with heterogeneous prize valuations. The designer maximizes the winning probability of the strong player or the winner’s expected valuation by choosing a contest with an all-pay auction equilibrium...

Are sequential round-robin tournaments discriminatory?

Sahm, Marco - 2017

-pay auctions implies lower aggregate effort than in tournaments with suitable Tullock contests. The fairness of round …
