Reputational concerns in repeated rent-seeking contests
Fallucchi, Francesco; Renner, Elke - 2016
We experimentally investigate how reputational concerns affect behavior in repeated Tullock contests by comparing expenditures of participants interacting in fixed groups with the expenditures of participants interacting with randomly changing opponents. When participants receive full...

Information feedback and contest structure in rent-seeking games
Fallucchi, Francesco; Renner, Elke; Sefton, Martin - 2012
We investigate the role of information feedback in rent-seeking games with two different contest structures. In the stochastic contest a contestant wins the entire rent with probability equal to her share of rent-seeking expenditures; in the deterministic contest she receives a share of the rent...

Can Groups Solve the Problem of Over-Bidding in Contests
Sheremeta, Roman M.; Zhang, Jingjing - Economic Science Institute (ESI), Argyros School of … - 2009
This study reports an experiment that examines whether groups can better comply with theoretical predictions than … individuals in contests. Our experiment replicates previous findings that individual players significantly overbid relative to … individual players. The new findings of our experiment are that groups make 25% lower bids, their bids have lower variance, and …

The attack and defense of weakest-link networks
Kovenock, Dan; Roberson, Brian; Sheremeta, Roman M. - 2010
This paper experimentally examines behavior in a two-player game of attack and defense of a weakest-link network of targets, in which the attacker's objective is to successfully attack at least one target and the defender's objective is diametrically opposed. We apply two benchmark contest...

Leaders as role models for the voluntary provision of public goods
Gächter, Simon; Renner, Elke - 2014
We investigate the link between leadership, beliefs and pro-social behavior. This link is interesting because field evidence suggests that people's behavior in domains like charitable giving, tax evasion, corporate culture and corruption is influenced by leaders (CEOs, politicians) and beliefs...
