An alternative interpretation of random noise in rank-order tournaments
Barbos, Andrei - In: Economics Letters 121 (2013) 2, pp. 326-329
We propose an alternative interpretation of additive random noise from the canonical framework of Lazear and Rosen (1981) amenable to applications where players do observe their final outputs at the time when inputs are chosen. This interpretation is suitable to model situations where...
