Equilibrium in the symmetric Hirshleifer contest: Uniqueness and characterization
Ewerhart, Christian; Sun, Guang-Zhen - 2018
The symmetric two-player Hirshleifer (1989) contest is shown to admit a unique equilibrium. The support of the equilibrium strategy is finite and includes, in particular, the zero expenditure level. We also establish a lower bound for the cardinality of the support and an upper bound for the...
