Payoff shares in two-player contests

Häfner, Samuel; Nöldeke, Georg - In: Games 7 (2016) 3, pp. 1-7

In imperfectly discriminating contests with symmetric valuations, equilibrium payoffs are positive shares of the value of the prize. In contrast to a bargaining situation, players’ shares sum to less than one because a residual share of the value is lost due to rent dissipation. In this paper,...

Do output-dependent prizes alleviate the sabotage problem in tournaments?

Glökler, Thomas; Pull, Kerstin; Stadler, Manfred - In: Games 13 (2022) 5, pp. 1-20

We investigate whether tournament prizes that depend on joint output ("variable prize tournaments") can alleviate the sabotage problem which is otherwise inherent in tournament struc- tures. In a game-theoretical model with three contestants, we compare fixed-prize tournaments with tournaments...

Assortative matching by lottery contests

Cohen, Chen; Rabi, Ishay; Sela, Aner - In: Games 13 (2022) 5, pp. 1-20

We study two-sided matching contests with two sets, A and B, each of which includes a finite number of heterogeneous agents with commonly known types. The agents in each set compete in a lottery (Tullock) contest, and then are assortatively matched, namely, the winner of set A is matched with...

Formalizing opponent modeling with the rock, paper, scissors game

Brockbank, Erik; Vul, Edward - In: Games 12 (2021) 3, pp. 1-19

In simple dyadic games such as rock, paper, scissors (RPS), people exhibit peculiar sequential dependencies across repeated interactions with a stable opponent. These regularities seem to arise from a mutually adversarial process of trying to outwit their opponent. What underlies this process,...

Competition and innovation in markets with technology leaders

Tsao, Ku-Chu; Mukherjee, Arijit; Ray, Achintya - In: Games 13 (2022) 1, pp. 1-20

competition and aggregate innovation. We consider a two-stage game with a deterministic Research and Development (R&D) process … outputs simultaneously. We show that the inverted-U relationship between competition and aggregate innovation occurs if … competition is affected by the number of technology followers. However, the presence of more technology leaders decreases …

Gender, emotions, and tournament performance in the laboratory

Halladay, Brianna - In: Games 8 (2017) 3, pp. 1-26

Individuals face competitive environments daily, and it is important to understand how emotions affect behavior in these environments and resulting economic consequences. Using a two-stage laboratory experiment, I analyze the role of reported emotions in tournament performance and assess how the...

(Un)bounded rationality in decision making and game theory : back to square one?

Güth, Werner; Kliemt, Hartmut - In: Games 1 (2010) 1, pp. 53-65

Game and decision theory start from rather strong premises. Preferences, represented by utilities, beliefs represented by probabilities, common knowledge and symmetric rationality as background assumptions are treated as “given.” A richer language enabling us to capture the process leading...
