Barbieri, Stefano - 2018

We consider a best-of-three Tullock contest between two ex-ante identical players. An effort-maximizing designer commits to a vector of player-specific biases (advantages or disadvantages). In our benchmark model the designer chooses victory-dependent biases (i.e., the biases depend on the...

A theory on media bias and elections

Sun, Junze; Schram, Arthur; Sloof, Randolph - 2019

We develop a tractable theory to study the impact of biased media on election outcomes, voter turnout and welfare. News … rise in media bias affects the election outcome in a non-monotonic way, and reduces voter welfare by decreasing the … other ways to strengthen media competition − such as increased polarization and prevention of collusion − critically depends …

On a three-alternative Condorcet jury theorem

Goertz, Johanna M. M.; Maniquet, François - 2011

We investigate whether the simple plurality rule aggregates information efficiently in a large election with three alternatives. The environment is the same as in the Condorcet Jury Theorem (Condorcet (1785)). Voters have common preferences that depend on the unknown state of nature, and they...

Intention-based fairness preferences in two-player contests

Hoffmann, Magnus; Kolmar, Martin - 2013

We analyze equilibria of two-player contests where players have intention-based preferences. We find that players invest more effort compared to the case with selfish preferences and are even willing to exert effort when the monetary value of the prize converges to zero. As a consequence,...

A nested contest : Tullock meets the all-pay auction

Amegashie, J. Atsu - 2012

I present a two-player nested contest which is a convex combination of two widely studied contests: the Tullock (lottery) contest and the all-pay auction. A Nash equilibrium exists for all parameters of the nested contest. If and only if the contest is sufficiently asymmetric, then there is an...

Information alliances in contests with budget limits

Konrad, Kai A. - 2010

We study the role of information exchange through alliances in a framework with contestants who have binding budget limits and know their own budget limit but are incompletely informed about other contestants' budget limits. First, we solve for the Bayesian Nash equilibrium. Then we consider the...
