Ewerhart, Christian - 2015 - Revised version, October 2015
Optimal rank-order tournaments have traditionally been studied using a first-order approach. The present analysis relies instead on the construction of an "upper envelope" over all incentive compatibility conditions. It turns out that the first-order approach is not innocuous. For example, in...

Simultaneous vs. sequential crowdsourcing contests
Hu, Ming; Wang, Lu - 2017
