The value of public information in common value Tullock contests
Einy, Ezra; Moreno, Diego; Shitovitz, Benyamin - Departamento de Economía, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid - 2014
We study how changes in the information available to the players of a symmetric common-value Tullock contest with incomplete information affect their payoffs and their incentives to exert effort. For the class of contests where players' state dependent cost of effort is multiplicative, we show...

Outcomes and Strategy Choices in Tullock Contests
Menezes, Flavio; Quiggin, John - School of Economics, University of Queensland - 2005
We explore the relationship between the choice of the strategy space and outcomes in Tullock contests. In particular, in a framework where one of the contest's participants moves first, we show that there is an equilibrium where this individual wins the contest with probability one. We also show...
