The Doping Threshold in Sport Contests: An Auction-based Approach
Müller, Daniel - 2010
We analyze the infuence of the number of competitors, the costs of doping and the distribution of talents on the doping behavior. In an n-player strategic game modelled as an all-pay auction, the players have private information about their talent and the amount of doping. The main finding of...

The Doping Threshold in Sport Contests
Müller, Daniel - 2013
We analyze the doping behavior of heterogeneous athletes in an environment of private information. In a n-player strategic game, modeled as an all-pay auction, each athlete has private information about his actual physical ability and choses the amount of performance-enhancing drugs. The use of...

The Herodotus paradox
Baye, Michael R.; Kovenock, Dan; Vries, Casper G. de - In: Games and Economic Behavior 74 (2012) 1, pp. 399-406
The Babylonian bridal auction, described by Herodotus, is regarded as one of the earliest uses of an auction in history. Yet, to our knowledge, the literature lacks a formal equilibrium analysis of this auction. We provide such an analysis for the two-player case with complete and incomplete...
