Existence of a pure-strategy Bayesian Nash equilibrium in imperfectly discriminating contests
Wasser, Cédric - 2010

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. …

Alliance Formation in Contests with Incomplete Information
Metzger, Lars P. - 2015
This paper studies a contest in which players with unobservable types may form an alliance in a pre-stage of the game … effort choice in the contest and there exist equilibria in which all types prefer to form an alliance. If the formation of an …
