Existence of a pure-strategy Bayesian Nash equilibrium in imperfectly discriminating contests
Wasser, Cédric - 2010
We consider a general class of imperfectly discriminating contests with privately informed players. We show that findings by Athey (2001) imply the existence of a Bayesian Nash equilibrium in monotone pure strategies.

Rent-seeking Contests under Symmetric and Asymmetric Information
Wasser, Cédric - 2010
We consider a variant of the Tullock rent-seeking contest. Under symmetric information we determine equilibrium … the distribution costs are drawn from and on the exact specification of the contest success function. …

Ordinal cheap talk
Chakraborty, Archishman; Harbaugh, Rick - 2003
Can comparative statements be credible even when absolute statements are not? For instance, can a professor credibly rank different students for a prospective employer even if she has an incentive to exaggerate the merits of each student? Or can an analyst credibly rank different stocks even if...

Secessionism and minority protection in an uncertain world
Anesi, Vincent - 2010
With the changing economic circumstances confronting their countries, regionally concentrated minorities have been facing a strategic problem, important aspects of which can be stylized as a situation in which a minority leader is uncertain about the costs of secession for her community. This...
